That way we gain from failure rather than lose.Īs Samuel Beckett wrote: ‘Ever tried. We should all fail and fail again, but each time try to learn something from it. I often remind patients who feel despondent because they’ve messed up that successful people fail again and again. In fact, we should welcome failure because everything worth doing is difficult, and so failure is bound to happen at some point or another. They are a success because they learn from their failures. Successful people are successful not because they never fail. And understanding and embracing failure teaches us so much about life in general.

It gives them a deeper, more profound understanding of their condition on which they can build.įailure is an inevitable part of success. It is an invaluable insight into the nature of their difficulties and helps them avoid repeating it in the future. While it can be disheartening at the time, it’s actually a good thing. People with drug addiction, alcoholism or eating disorders will slip up and fail on their recovery journey. Everyone who is trying to change unhelpful or unwanted behaviour will fail. We use the idea of the benefit of failure a lot in mental health. They aren’t part of antisocial behaviour. They are less likely to commit crimes, graffiti or drop litter. I have long suspected this, and the facts speak for themselves. Older people are kinder than younger people, a study published last week found. It gave me a discipline I still have even now.

It was a wake-up call when I needed it and made me think about how to structure my learning so I could still enjoy myself how to set up routines and regular study time each day. I’m sure the only reason I worked hard enough to get that was because of that failure in the first year. Two years later I did another degree in anthropology and came top of the year with a starred first.

It taught me a valuable lesson and I never failed an exam again, and, in fact, started to win prizes. While it was horrible at the time, I’m pleased I failed. But, my goodness, it made me knuckle down. Thankfully, I passed and progressed into the second year. While my friends were relaxing on their break, I spent the summer in the library. I had to repeat them over the summer holidays with the threat that if I failed again, I would be kicked out of medical school entirely. To my horror, I failed two of the exams, which meant I failed the entire year.ĭr Max Pemberton (pictured) said understanding and embracing failure teaches us so much about life in general I realised that, despite my initial success, I’d been stupidly complacent and cocky. Unlike other courses at university, there was a vast amount to revise and the exams were crammed into a few weeks, so last minute studying was limited. When it came to the end of my first year exams, I suddenly realised there were big gaps in my knowledge. My memory has always been quite good and it seemed to be just learning a lot of Latin words.

I sailed through the first year at medical school while, really, doing minimal work. I look back at myself when I was her age and had a similar experience of riding high then failing. Because this is the lesson: failure can be the best thing that happens to you. She deserves to win for teaching us so much about how we should all approach our failures. No wonder she’s the bookie’s favourite for Sports Personality of the Year.
