In one way of thinking, failure is part of life. In way, failure may be a way towards success. The “Spider-story” is often . Robert Bruce , leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a cave from the English. He watched a spider a web. The spider tried to reach across a rough in the rock. He tried six times. On the time he made it and went on to make his web. Bruce is said to have been encouraged by this and to have gone on to the English. Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, made models that failed before he found the right way to make one. Once he was asked he kept on trying to make a new type of battery when he had failed so often, he replied, “Failure? I have failure. Now I know 50,000 ways it won't “..
So what? First，always think about your failure. What caused ？Were conditions right? Were you in top from yourself? What can you change? So things will go next time.
Second, is the goal you're trying to reach the right one? Try to do some about what your real goals may be. Think about this question. “If I do succeed in this, where will it get me?" This may help you prevent failure in things you shouldn't be doing any way.
The third thing to keep in about failure is that it's a part of life. Learn to “live with yourself" even though you may have ．

Adults usually do not remember most of the things that are taught by their teachers at school. But this story is one such 16 that I will never forget. Every time I drift off course, I think of this story.
It was a normal Monday morning, and my teacher was teaching us on 17 things in life and about devoting ourselves to 18 is important to us. This is how the story went:
An old man lived in a certain part of London, and he would wake up every morning and go to the sub-way. He would 19 the train right to Central London, and then sit at the street corner and 20 . He would do this every single day of his life. He sat at21 street corner and begged for almost 20 years.
His 22 was dirty, and a stench came out and it smelled terrible. The neighbors could not stand the smell any more, so they called for the police officers to clear the place. The officers knocked down the door and cleaned the house. There were small bags of23 all over the house 24 he had collected over the years.
The police counted the money, and they soon 25that the old man was a millionaire. They waited outside his house expecting to ___26__ the good news with him. When the old man arrived home that evening, one of the officers told him that there was no need for him to beg any more as he was a 27 man now, a millionaire.
But the old man said 28 ; he went into his house and locked the door. The next morning he woke up 29, went to the subway, sat at the street corner and continued to beg.
Clearly, this old man had no great plans,30 or anything significant for his life. We learn nothing from this story other than staying focused on the things we enjoy doing.
