“Failure is the mother of success”: quote and (origin)

failure is the mother of success

Failure is the mother of success. They laughed when I failed in the first place. When I realize this quote, I made them regret who I was before. Have you ever made a mistake, disappointment, failure, or couldn’t get the expected result out of something? Oh no that is so bad, why did you even try it in the first place? That is exactly the first question I was asked by a friend when my first business failed. It went like this oh man that is a very competitive market why did you have to get yourself into it? Am sure if not one or two, you have surely been asked questions similar to that.

One thing most people don’t realize is they think once you fail that is the end, there is no way to be successful afterward. Hey did you said when you fail you can’t rise again? That is exactly what they say but there is more to it than what they think. Let me show you a very powerful lesson of a boy who later realizes failure is the mother of success.
