"The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won’t. It’s whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to persevere."
Simplified meaning
When we try new things, it's normal to fail sometimes. Everyone fails at some point – it's part of life. Imagine you're learning to ride a bicycle. The first few times, you might fall. You might feel embarrassed or upset about falling. But what really matters is how you handle those falls. You can either give up because you're too scared or ashamed, or you can keep practicing and get better each time.
Think about famous inventors like Thomas Edison. He failed many times before he succeeded in creating the light bulb. He didn’t stop trying because of his failures. Instead, he learned from each mistake and kept working. By not giving up, he eventually succeeded and made something incredible.
So, the important thing is to not let failure stop you. Use each mistake as a lesson to improve. Keep pushing forward no matter how many times you fall. By doing this, you will grow and achieve your goals.
