In life, we have in one way or the other come in touch with failure either as toddlers, or as adult perhaps in our academic examination hence failing isn’t really a new topic to anyone. As we all know failure is really demoralizing, painful, and detrimental to mental/emotional health, it is upsetting and except we learn to deal with it and respond to it in a psychologically adaptive way, we may never know what lies in-between and may never get to learn great lessons or have a taste of success..
There is so much beauty and a huge advantage in failing hence the reason for the saying “winners never quit and quitters never Win”. To delve deeper, I’ll like to make reference to a hand-full of reputable world inventors who failed severllly but never gave in to the blows. They include:
• Sir James Dyson.
• Steven Spielberg.
• Thomas Edison.
• Walt Disney.
• Albert Einstein.
• J.K. Rowling.
• Abraham Lincoln.
• Jerry Seinfeld.
ADAVANTAGES OF FAILING – MY PSYCHOLOGICAL WAY.

A CHANCE TO IDENTIFY YOUR WEAKNESS
The first time you ever get starred by failure at the face, one important thing is that it gives you a chance to sit back and review your attempt, skills and concept about a particular thing. You begin to re-think, re-consider and employ new techniques/skills and gear up to do better in your next attempt. Without failing, you’d agree with me that we will never get to discover and improve ourselves.
IT KEEPS YOU HUMBLED AND FOCUS
A lot of people had been through the failures den usually stay so grounded and humbled because they would always remember where and how hard it cost them to have a taste of stardom, they’ll fight so had never to go down and just like the Bible says “God resists the proud but giveth grace to the humble” so the key to staying great is humility. Failure will train you to be focus and immovable. You can’t afford to being tagged or called a failure so you would definitely stay focused to the goal.
A SOURCE OF INSPIRATION
One really beautiful thing is being able to help some-one and being part of their success story. A lot of scientist and other people who made a name go to that heights because they saw people ahead of them strive relentlessly and so they choose them as their models and want to be more like them. A lot of people talk about Ben Carson not because they have had a one-on-one conversation with him but because they are inspired by his life story. Failure will prone you to attain enviable height and begin to mentor and add value to the life of other.
It teach you persistence in every form and shapes you to the best version of you. Once you’ve made it, no-body will remember that you once failed.
I must acknowledge and give accolades to @asherrobert for such a beautiful and mind blowing post why hide your emotions?. I really enjoyed reading through and I love this part "Occasionally concealing emotions is quite normal. It might even seem to be the best option in a tense situations or public place. But when you hide your feelings because of the fear on how others will react, you end up denying your own self. This might seem like the perfect way to avoid conflict and emotional pain, but later in no time it will come back to bite you in the end"
I subscribe to the fact that most time it is better to let the cat out of the bag and face what ever comes out of it. It all depends on the mindset and the psychology that we carry about in our head love or affections generally.
