The art of failure

I've listened to one of Harry Potter's books translator talking about the importance of "failure" in life at the Translating Awards Ceremony which took place at Universidade Católica. Making her words mine, I have to say that I totally agree that failure is a way to success. To fail is to try, to try is to make an effort, and if you make an effort it means that you care. Well, but if some people understands that failure is a part of their accomplishments, some people quit right away; even if pratice will lead you to success, there's people who don't give a shot trying. How do you know if you're failing? Sometimes we have a person who "takes care" of that, as example a coach who you may think that "demoralizes" you, but he/she is doing the opposite, really, because he/she just wants to improve your skills. By contrary, people who tend to have lack of confidence question those who praises them, so they start to doubt about the commentaries truthfulness. Yes, failling is frustrating at some point, but is also a process to achieve our goals. I finish this post encouraging everyone to try, and try, and try again endlessly if you believe, deeply, that you really CAN.
