Question

speech on failure are stepping stone to success

Answer 1

Even the most horrific events in our life may help us grow. A person is called successful only if s/he knows how to walk with elan even after failing. Failure makes us think. We realize what people go through when they fail and how they cope to succeed later. A century ago, Thomas Alva Edison said: "I did not fail 10,000 times, but I found out 10,000 ways that didn't work."

Can't we learn from history's great men and women who after failing initially pulled themselves together to con
