Why do we only celebrate when someone does something well?

Do they really learn from that? Is success the only measurement of accomplishment?

Why not celebrate failures?

“You failed your test? That’s great to hear! Why do you think you failed and how will you make sure you pass the exam the next time around?”.

Okay maybe not cheer on failure but surely ask deeper questions instead of telling people,”try harder next time”.

Failure is the best way to figure out how to not do something.

Don’t aim to fail but take advantage of the opportunity when you do fail. Failure is inevitable. Learn from your mistakes.

Instead of being disappointed in our effort we should really reflect on what we did well and what we need to improve upon.

Success can sometimes be disguised. You could be positively reinforcing a negative behavior when you succeed.

You’re not going to ace every test you face in life or in school.

Failing should not be ridiculed. It should be celebrated and learned from.

Failing isn’t a negative event. Just because you failed one exam doesn’t make you permanently stupid. It shows you areas you need to work on.

Failing is a part of the path. You can’t succeed without failing first.

Honestly, life would be boring if we only won. Would we ever really learn if we didn’t fail?

Embrace failure as a time to reflect and learn. It’s a time to improve.

You’re not stupid if you fail along the way. You’re doing the opposite of failing. You’re learning.
