Failure word of month for May
Failure
Week 1
“Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.”
Winston Churchill, prime minister of England during World War II
Translation for Adults
Although failure may be a word or situation you try to avoid, it has always been a companion on the road to success. Failure is an experience that should intensify your confidence and generate more enthusiasm to accomplish your goals. Failure is not really an impediment to success, but a sign of progress and perseverance. Fighting through your failures and learning from those experiences is a form of success. If you are truly driven to succeed, then the number of times you fail is immaterial. Each failure will redirect your steps, providing those small adjustments that keep you headed toward your goal.
Translation for Kids
It’s easy to think that failure is bad. You almost always fail the first time you play a new game. You probably failed the first few times you rode your bike or tried a new martial arts kick. You didn’t do that new kick exactly right the first time. You must fail to learn. You must experience failure to reach your goals. You must keep trying that new kick. Keep practicing with enthusiasm and a positive attitude. You will feel more confident and motivated to succeed. You will become an expert kicker. You will learn from your failures. They will guide you toward to your goals.
