My thoughts on failure

http://www.npr. org/templates/ story/story. php?storyId= 6196795 this is the link to what I'm talking about. Ok, so in this story, I disagree when Jon Caroll says failure is a good thing. I think failure is bad, because is you fail something, your going to regret it forever. So it's best to succssed in school, or a job, that way you don't feel bad about failing something. One of the biggest failures I've had, was not failing to keep a promise. The way it affected me wasn't that bad, I just had to keep a promise. Well I learned that if I want to be trusted, I have to keep something that I say I will. I think my teacher had us hear this is because, he wants to send us a message about how we can learn for ours mistakes.
