An argument for "Failure is the mother of success"

When a person fails, we often hear people around us using the phrase "Failure is the mother of success" to encourage he. I don’t know when and where this familiar saying spread. Anyway, it has now become a well-known and widely used saying.

It is understandable that people use this sentence to comfort or encourage people who are frustrated. After all, who doesn’t encounter some difficulties in life? No matter how bumpy the road ahead is, we still have to move forward. Then, we must not be discouraged and unable to recover when we encounter setbacks. It is a good choice to comfort others or encourage yourself with the message that failure is the mother of success. Help trapped people get out of the trough of life as soon as possible.

Although from a practical point of view, this famous saying is necessary, it can indeed play a positive role to a certain extent. But we often say that analyzing a problem must be divided into two. Viewing the problem dialectically is applicable at any time. Here too, failure certainly breeds the motivation for success, but whether a person can definitely learn from failure and lead to success is still questionable. For example, if a person encounters a series of blows and fails again and again, using such words to comfort her is obviously more like ridicule and contempt. It is better to let her face reality. And when people who suffer setbacks are cowardly in nature, these words can only serve to quench their thirst by drinking poison. Because he will always be immersed in self-comfort, excessively hypnotized and unwilling to make progress, he will truly fall into a beautiful lie and be unable to extricate himself.

For ordinary people, this sentence is best used within the level of shock that normal people can bear. For those who are particularly determined, they may not need such nihilistic comfort at all. They themselves will be dissatisfied with the status quo of failure, thus motivating themselves to step out of the shadows.

It can be seen that failure is not necessarily the mother of success. If failure is to become the mother of success, a prerequisite must be added to it, that is, everything should be kept within a certain degree, and only within a reasonable range. Only within it can some rules become truth and be used effectively. There is only a wall between failure and success. People may lead to success through failure, or they may go in the wrong direction and get further and further away from success. The transformation of failure and success needs to be based on the trend.
