Does Failure Lead To Success

In most cases, failure means not finding success and just giving up. I believe that you need fail before you find success. Mickey Rooney once said, "You always pass failure on your way to success." Failure in the end will lead to success.

Famous people show one way on how you fail before you succeed. Sir James Dyson, the man who founded the Dyson Company and made the Dyson vacuum failed many times before finding success. His mission was to build the very first bagless vacuum and he failed 5, 126 times to be exact. He made all these different prototypes till he found the one that worked. After he finally made the vacuum, he traveled for three years looking for people to sell his vacuum to. Nobody would buy the vacuum because they thought it was too good for business. Dyson was then later able to sell with a small company called Apex Limited; he named the vacuum "G-force." The G-force was sold for $2,000. Once Dyson made enough money he founded the Dyson company in 1993. Stephen King is another famous person who failed before finding success. Stephen King wrote his first book "Carrie;" this now famous book

was rejected thirty times. King actually decided to give up; and he threw his manuscript in the trash. His wife however saw it in the trash, she retrieved it and told him he needs to resubmit and try again. So, he listened to his wife and resubmitted it, and he got an offer! Now, Stephen King is writing and selling many books worldwide.

I understand that failure leads to success because of my family.

My mom worked at a Cardiology office for nine and a half years. One day, the bookkeeper came up to her and laid her off of her job. She immediately thought of a plan. She always wanted to go to nursing school and my mom thought that now was the perfect time. So, my mom went through nursing school and got her associates degree in nursing. After she got her nursing degree she started working at the hospital and loving what she does. My grandma failed math in eighth grade. She really wanted to pass and get a good grade in that class so she decided to retake the class. When she was retaking the class, she studied really hard and worked extra hard so that she could pass the class the next time around. By the end of the year, with all of her hard work, she passed the class and was very

happy!

My personal experience also shows failure before success. Riding my bike was very hard for me to learn for a long time. I would try and just lose my balance. My mom tried to teach me how to ride my bike but I couldn't get it. We then decided to put training wheels on to help me learn how to ride my bike. A little later I took my training wheels off and my uncle decided to help me learn how to ride my bike. My uncle gave me some tips and he started running with me and I was riding my bike! I was then able to ride my bike all the time. The spelling bee at my school is another example of me failing before succeeding. In sixth grade, I made all the way to the round where they find a school winner. I got really close to winning until I misspelled a word and I was out. Then in seventh grade, I made it to that round again. Even though I misspelled a word and didn't win, I made it farther than I did the year before and that is a success to me!

Failure in the end will lead to success. In conclusion, you can see that you need to fail before you succeed. If you don't get something the first time just keeping trying and trying and you will eventually succeed.
