Failure is an inevitable part of life, yet one that many people fear and avoid. However, there is great value in learning from our failures and using them as opportunities for growth. In this article, we explore the topic of failure through the lens of English speeches, examining how some of the world's greatest orators have addressed this challenging topic.

everybody is afraid of failure, because it means what they do is useless and they waste their energy and time. but people get the wrong idea about failure, in fact, failure is also success. if people want to be successful, they need to take action. failure at least means people have tried to do, what’s more, people can learn from their unsuccessful experience, so that they can improve their methods. every failure means the closeness of success, we should take the positive attitude to failure, we can get over it soon and people finally can get the victory. so when we meet the difficulties, don’t be afraid of the bad result, just take action.
每个人都害怕失败，因为那意味着他们所做的是没有用的，浪费了时间和精力。但是人们对失败的看法是错误的，事实上，失败也是成功。如果人们想要成功，他们需要行动。失败至少意味着人们已经尝试去做，而且，人们能从他们不成功的经验中学习，这样他们才能改进方法。每个失败意味着与成功的靠近，我们应该乐观对待失败，快速克服失败，最后人们才能得到胜利。所以当我们遇到困难了，不要害怕不好的结果，要行动起来。

all of us experience failure every now and then. although some people will avoid failure at all costs, some people welcome it. failure can be a good teacher. it always teaches us to be better the second time around. as they say, "the more you try, the more you'll succeed."
我们所有人都有可能会经历成功和失败。尽管有些人会尽全力去避免失败，但有些人却很愿意去直面失败，因为他们认为失败是最好的老师。通过这次失败的教训，我们会避免再次“遇到她”。
there is some wisdom to be learned from failure. if we can learn to turn a failure to our advantage, we will have learned another secret to success. failure is the mother of success and success that comes after failure is so sweet.
人类智慧的发展和进步也是不断的从失败中学来的，如果我们能从失败中总结经验，这将会变成我们的优势。我们也同时学会了另一个走向成功的秘诀：失败是成功之母，阳光总在风雨后!

failure is so common in our life. no one can avoid it. when we fail in doing something, we often feel so depressed that we have no interest in other things. sometimes failure can also make us lose heart. therefore, no one wants to be a failure.
success is what we all hope for, because it can bring us a sense of pride and a good reputation. the moment we succeed, we always feel so proud, as if having everything in our hands. if one enjoys his continuous success in his career, he will be famous and worshiped by others.
however, failure is the mother of success. one failure doesn’t mean you can never be successful. it depends on what we do to deal with failure. those who are always afraid of failure and can’t go through it will never win. but as long as we can get some lessons and experience from our failure, we’ll be sure to succeed.
失败是生活中是很常见的。没有人能避免失败。当我们做某事失败的时候，我们经常觉得很沮丧，而提不起兴趣去做其他的事情。有时失败会使我们丧失信心。所以，没有人想成为失败者。
成功是我们所希望的，因为它能够给我们带来的自豪感和良好的信誉。成功的那一刻我们都感到很自豪，就好像我们拥有了一切。如果一个人喜欢在他的职业生涯中不断取得成功，他就会出名，被别人崇拜。
不过，失败是成功之母。一次失败并不意味着你永远不能成功。这取决于我们如何面对失败。那些总是害怕失败，不能克服这个心理的人永远都不会成功。但只要我们能吸取教训，我们一定会成功的。

there are failures and there are failures, but the differences between bankruptcy and financial diminishment, divorce and marital strife, spiritual crisis and anomie are distinctions of degree, not kind. and they are connected. woe in one sphere strains the seams of others. it's not pretty. and that's why failure is something you wouldn't wish on your least agreeable relative.
a theory is gaining momentum that looks at failure differently. failure, it says, is at worst a mixed blessing: it hurts, but can pay off in the form of learning and growth and wisdom. some psychologists, like the university of virginia's jonathan haidt, go even further, arguing that adversity, setbacks, and even trauma may actually be necessary for people to be happy, successful, and fulfilled. "post-traumatic growth," it's sometimes called. its observers are building a solid foundation under the anecdotes about wildly successful people who credit their accomplishments to earlier failures that pushed them to the edge of the abyss.
we do know that learning is error-driven—probably as a result of the brain trying to be efficient. failures grab our attention. so many things happen the way we expect them to that mistakes register disproportionately. we're forced to integrate that new information. researchers have found that the more wildly wrong our prediction was, the quicker we learn. the brain, you might say, feeds on failure. we are acutely sensitive to negative feedback, and this "negativity bias" drives learning, at least from teenagehood on up.

i have a dream that one day every vally shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.
wow, what a dream it has been for martin luther king. but the changing world seems telling me that people gradually get their dreams lost somehow in the process of growing up, and sometimes i personally find myself saying goodbye unconsciously to those distant childhood dreams.
however, we meed dreams. they nourish our spirit; they represent possibility even when we are dragged down by reality. they keep us going. most successful people are dreamers as well as ordinary people who are not afraid to think big and dare to be great. when we were little kids, we all dreamed of doing something big and splashy, something significant. now what we need to do is to maintain them, refresh them and turn them into reality. however, the toughest part is that we often have no ideas how to translate these dreams into actions. well, just start with concrete objectives and stick to it. donsquo;t let the nameless fear confuse the eye and confound our strong belief of future. through our talents, through our wits, through our endurance and through our creativity, we will make it.
hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly. hold fast to dreams, for when dreams go, life is a barren field frozen with snow. so my dear friends, think of your old and maybe dead dreams. whatever it is, pick it up and make it alive from today.

as the saying goes: "failure is the mother of success." this seems to have become a commonplace talk of an old scholar, but the actions and words are sometimes not consistent. when you report "red light", or the difficulties encountered in the work, your heart is in addition to upset, the other nothing? are you aware of this failure is pregnant with the seeds of success! in this regard, everyone's answer is certainly not the same! this is quite necessary to talk about: failure is the mother of success.
there everything is going smoothly. things, yet failure is always there, otherwise, the "inventor", "literary giant" reputation will not easily fall everyone's head? throughout history, those who rise above the common herd men can succeed, it is because they can treat correctly failure, learn from failure to kick in, fail this stumbling block, set foot on the road to success, such as the great inventor thomas edison, too many to count - successful students, life is too many to count the failure. he was an invention has undergone eight thousand failed experiment, but he does not think it is a waste, but said: "why should i sad? this failed eight thousand times at least, so i understand the eight thousand experiments is not feasible." edison's attitude towards failure. he often draw lessons from failure, sum up experience, thus achieved at a failed many times in the basis of inventions. failures will bring pain, but it can also make people gain; it is pointed out to us that the errors and shortcomings in work, but also inspire us step by step to success. failure is the success of negation, and is the foundation of success, that is to say: "failure is the mother of success."
however, in reality the success not failure accumulation, but failed to summary and beyond. if you don't understand this point, will cause the "absurd conclusion failure of more and more successful". such as mathematics famous parallel axiom, from its inception, has always been suspicions. for thousands of years, countless mathematicians committed to proving the parallel axiom, but failed. the mathematician porie engaged in the parallel axiom that there is no success, eventually died a painful death in despair. while the problem like a bottomless pit, gobbling up the people's wisdom and gives nothing in return, lobachevsky after seven years of verification without results, find out the reasons of failure. lobachevsky after numerous failures, summarizes and analyzes the failure of the antecedents and consequences, from the understanding of the problem, which was a success. thus, "failure is the mother of success" is an objective law, but really want to transition from failure to success may become a reality, but also must pass through the analysis of exploration and scientific constantly, draw lessons from failure, to guide future work, so it is not "in vain" failure.
young people prone to failure in the work, also easy to lose heart, therefore, we only remember "failure is the mother of success." this saying, to establish a strong self-confidence, can see the hope from the disappointment, from failure to success.
"failure is the mother of success" should not only be our favorite motto, it is more important to be our guide to action. "bao jianfeng from sharpen out, the plum blossom incense come from the bitter cold", benefit from the failure, rising from the hard work, this is the youth road.

failure is the mother of success. sometimes people have to cope with many mistakes and failures in order to reach the successful finals. while others might succumb to failure, they tend to retreat and give in their efforts. success often provides confidence and satisfaction, nevertheless failure companies with bitter, saddness, and suffering. it seems people have to learn through each experience, as success doesn't always falls from heaven.
i remembered i used to fail on my vocabury test when i was in high school. i had problem to memorize new words which got lloose each day. i almost decided to give up english, but was obliged to one of my neighbour classmates who kept on sending small sheet for me. in the end of the semester, i found i had finished my vocabulary book which became a work force in reading english. i then realized that a new word came and left our brains for several times. nobody is born as genius for success. success tends to arrive after a serial of trials and failures.
of course, success brings confidence and victory. but, life is not always easy and comfortable. there are more difficulties than eases in the real life. it is likely that we have to face some failures ahead. therefore, those who learn how to deal and endure failures will taste their success eventually.

everyone tries to achieve success in his/her career. but some finally attain their aims while others fail. why? some continue their cause to the end through long period of hard struggles， but others are easily disappointed and stop halfway.
strong will， perseverance and diligence are the three essentials of success. a man of strong will and perseverance always has an inflexible spirit. he sticks to his cause no matter how tough it might be. life is short and we have too much to do. without diligence no one can achieve anything.
i believe that where there is a will there is a way， and that success belongs to those who can make constant efforts.
don't be afraid of life. believe that life is worth living， and your belief will help create the fact
