When Have You Failed? What Did You Learn From It?
In case you don't know who I am here is my intro post from way back:
BunnyPuncher Don’t worry your bunnies are “fairly” safe!
Story of an honest Steemian. Honesty in today's world it still exists!!
I've failed at lots of stuff, I've learned the deck is stacked against people who want to work for themselves.
I've failed at countless things. Often, I just learn what I can't do. Other times, I get lessons, often wrong.
You just planted 0.03 tree(s)!
Thanks to @rufusfirefly

I honestly don't remember when, As I have lately stopped looking into my past absolutely . I strongly believe the lessons that I have learnt in the past would remain with me always.
Result. I'm able to remain positive. I'm able to focus on what I need to do , based on what I wish experience in the future. Future seems less scary.
This is possible now. But earlier when I kept reflecting on my past, I couldn't shake off the fear of it happening again in the future. The question "what if?" used to keep arising in my mind.
I have faced financial issues, something which many believed that I would never be able to get out of. I have had sleepless nights tossing and turning in bed. I would wake up in the morning to feel an unknown fear deep within and I would feel butterflies in my stomach.
I mastered the art of being aware of my thoughts all the time. Any little thought of the past or future, I would quickly replace, by taking a book and reading something interesting , by engaging myself in some work which required me to be focused. Sometimes I would even start cleaning up my room, my cupboards, files. Just to do anything which would keep me focused on something else. I kept myself busy so that I would have no time to think about past or future.
Just living each day for its worth , doing what seemed right at the moment , practising being happy, not looking into the past nor future helped me slowly wade through the mess and reach a decent spot.
I can't say I'm completely out of it. But I can see that it's possible to reach higher grounds in 6 months. On and off I just look up to see where I'm heading and quickly go back to the present , to focus on what I am doing.
One failure that pained me alot was when I invested all my savings into forex trading. I thought I was going to make a huge profit from it because I had learned a lot about the market but my emotion made me lose all my money. The sad thing was, the more I lose my money, the more I pump money into it until my savings got blank. I learnt a very costly lesson to always learn how to cut down your loss and move on. If I had cut down my loss, I wouldn't have losed everything in my savings.
Good morning friends!
I share with you this experience:
It is very nice to make friends throughout your life, but unfortunately many of those friendships are a bad influence. I failed my mother, grandmother and my good friends when they recommended me to get away from them and that instead of going to class to the university I went with them to walk and drink. I had a terrible accident and while I was in bed I never had a visit of these who said they were friends. The only ones that were always present were my mother, grandmother and those true friends that I ignored when I was with the others ... this is just a summary because if I tell everything I extend a lot =)
I learned to value all the good advice of my family and friends and that I must know how to choose my friends well, and that until the sun of today I keep them and have supported me throughout my already finished career as an educator that I happened to receive yesterday as a graduate in education =) ... It was a relief to have told =)
From that failure, many important lessons we can take.
Congratulations to the winners, that's fine!
I learned to be more resilient and never give up
Nice topic
I've failed not practising so well for an exam which I nearly failed, but i got lucky with the pass mark, then I learnt not to take practising for an exam a joke.
Failure is human, therefore we learn from mistakes made as they serve as a lesson to stop falling into the same, life gives us tests that teach us to move forward and overcome those stages because that is what are errors, the stages that we are burning and that we see as mistakes but that in reality are learning from life.
Forgive in a very important step.
From the errors of Aprende
Almost all my life I have failed, I have had to live with my mistakes, learn, accept and follow, what else can be done!
Congratulations to all the winners, well, I like your contest, what good
Oh man, I have failed to god.

My breakup story explains this concept perfectly, my girlfriend who left me for another guy did think that it won't be easy for me to move on. I can say happily that my bounce back was superb because I found someone else who provides me with more comfort.
When i failed to do any work or failed after doing a work then i try to find out what is the main fault of failing. What is the difficulty behind this. Is the solution of this problem is out of my range! After raising some of this questions i prepared myself to do it again without failure. If unlucky then the process is continue like a circle until i succeed. @bunnypuncher

When we have excuses about our failure .
Thanks for the contest! Everyone fails at some point in your life, the key is to not let the failures destroy your determination. Have to keep trying.
Just this afternoon when I tried to fix the roof. Ceiling has been leaking rain water a lot lately. I ended up damaging it more 😓
I learned to just leave some things done by the experts. (John)
I fail on average once a day, and learn from it in average every third time... I'm a little stubborn :P
Keep a positive mind
i failed when the time i didn't accept of who really am and what i learned is that you need to accept yourself to know how to handle life.
Life moves on. That's what I've learned.
We learn from experience and mistakes , take the lesson from a failure and do better next time
When I failed? No.
I think if I fail I will improvise and implement the learning of failure and make a success ahead. And if I talk about learning, it includes mistakes, omissions, negligence, commission, speed, ignorance, laggard, and many more which are reducing day by day.
Of course I did learn from my failure and it served as an experience for me and I came to know my mistakes. Failing is not the end, its just a trial, You have to try again and don't give up.
Failure teaches not to continue same mistake again! Simple.
The one that does not fail did not achieve success, but rather how it is done to learn. Having mistakes is the way to avoid paths that do not suit us. You have to have a lot of personality so that when we fall we do not give up but we get up and move forward stronger.
Thank you
Its really nightmare for me , I left study was my mistake.
My mistake was my boyfriend, thankGOD he is not in my life anymore. I learned from my experiance that girls should be carefully select boyfriend
Competition of selecting college team, and I faied, workhard and next year I seleted.
Excellent opportunity that you give us @bunnypuncher to all.
I was not failed yet , work hard and left on GOD , you will never failed.
Wel well welll, hope to win today because today is my birthday, so I did notlike to remember my failed day.
Always pray and be tough
that sometimes there is only one way of doing things.
Failure is the first step of success.
Throughout my life I've been failing soo many things from major Exams, not getting picked for a job, failed investments/trading and many more. But one thing that I learned is that you can't have everything in life. You still have to be determined on what you are doing. All of us who are living right now will experience failure but the most important thing is to learn from it.
when I have failed I have learned many things which have allowed me to be who I am today and change many aspects of my life, things that did not let me grow as a person, I do not see failures as a mistake that I should regret and not look any more otherwise, the event should be watched learn, grow in experiences and overcome any obstacle, although it is also true that they say that the human being is the only one who stumbles 3 times with the same stone, there are also those who learn from their mistakes and see this as a lesson of life ...
of mistakes you learn and you shape yourself for success!
of the mistakes you always learn, they are like tests to take us to success

Failure is a great opportunity to start again with more intelligence
Success is often achieved by those who do not know that failure is inevitable
A wise man said: Failure in a key part of life. If you do not fail, you do not learn and if you do not learn, you do not change.
only those who dare to have great failures end up achieving great successes.
I think we never learn at all, we fail and we fail again, we are masochists.
Failure is the key to success. Each error teaches us something
