“Now, I am not going to stand here and tell you that failure is fun. That period of my life was a dark one, and I had no idea that there was going to be what the press has since represented as a kind of fairy tale resolution.” J.K. Rowling’s speech on the benefits of failure was nothing less than insightful. She spoke of how she herself had a fear of failure like some many do today, but eventually found that her failures were what brought her to not only the place she’s in today but into the person she is.
A famous quote by Winston Churchill states, “Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.” The underlying theme from the quote and Rowling’s speak is that no one should fear failure because failure is what makes one become determined. The benefits of failure will outweigh the benefits of continuous success, because with continuous success, one will never know what it means to have to work harder and they will never strive to be better.
