As wise Mr. TJ said, not succeeding at something the first time doesn't necessarily mean you've failed. It just means you have to go about it in a different way.
In life, many of us have failed, or will fail, at a variety of different things. It can be something as small as a homework assignment or as large as failing a class. Others fail at friendships, relationships, sports competitions, etc. According to each person, each event has a different significance and impacts them differently.
Having said this, I am a strong believer in that what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. Of course, we all want to grieve our failures for some amount of time. Some people get over it in a couple of minutes, while others take days. Whatever time you need, however, you can't let it set you back too far or dwell on it for too long.
It is crucial to see failure as a learning experience; because taking life lessons out of these experiences is vital for the success of future endeavors. After analyzing everything and seeing what you did wrong or what could've gone better, it teaches you what to do next time to succeed. Because, as another great mind said, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." -Albert Einstein.
Not only is it important to make learning experiences out of failure, it forms people for the future. If you are someone who has failed in the past at small things, like exams, classes, sports competitions, etc, these small failures have taught you (hopefully) to pick yourself back up and try it again. They will cause you to move on more quickly than a person who is not used to failure, a person who might dwell more on their mistakes because they are used to always being perfect all the time.
So, in attempts to stay clear or being called insane, do yourself a favor: learn from your mistakes and make life lessons out of them. This will mold you to become a stronger person for the future and teach you to always keep going, no matter how hard it gets.
