How did your parents regard failure-did they feel that failure was a part of growing or did they?

My Dad was very clear: "A man who makes no mistakes ... makes nothing"I was always happy to learn from experience after hearing that.

My dad always said that there was no failure because with each mistake you learned something new. The only time there could be true failure is if you failed to even try. I taught this to my own children and try to instill this into the students I teach.

In a lot of situations failure leads to growth. Everyone fails at something at one point or another and most are able to pick themselves up, dust themselves off and try again. Failure is an important part of the learning curve.It can't be avoided and once overcome, it builds character!

I think it's actually good for you, it that makes sense.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
