失敗から学ぶ

Many people have probably been taught since childhood that "you must not fail." On tests, points are deducted for mistakes, and at work, making an error lowers your evaluation. For that reason, aren't more people choosing methods that avoid failure rather than taking on new challenges? When the fear of failure is strong, people hesitate even to say new ideas aloud. However, failure has great value. According to one study, people think more about the cause when they fail than when they succeed. In other words, failure becomes valuable information for the next success. One company reportedly holds regular meetings where employees share their experiences of failure, and there are quite a few cases where the lessons gained there helped in developing new products. Many famous inventors also reached success only after repeating countless failures. What matters is what you do after failing. To learn from failure, you first need the courage to admit it. If you hide the failure or blame others, you repeat the same mistake. Conversely, if you honestly look back at what went wrong and make use of it next time, failure becomes a chance to grow. I would like those around the person who failed to create an atmosphere of thinking about the cause together, rather than blaming them.
