- How can you help a friend who is feeling like they failed learn from their 'failure'?
For me I think about 3 steps:
1.Be with them where they're at; acknowledge the feelings and what they're going through, have a big listen! How does the person see things, is it even a failure to them? How big a deal is this to them?
2. Start exploring; help your friend think a bit bigger, I like this concept called blue sky thinking where you think about the best possible outcomes, time machines are allowed. But keep thinking past that (unless you have a time machine handy)
3.Put it in perspective, and set some goals to move on; There's always something to learn an there's always new things to learn and explore, help them figure out where they want to go next and the steps they need to take to get there!
@FootyFan26 If only I could give you more High 5's!

hahaha omg celebs failing... A LOT....but some of the reporting (tabloids in particular) on this is so unfair.. like Britney was supposedly this big failure but she was actually going through a mental health difficulty...

@Ben-RO that's a good point, it helps to ask "will this affect me in five years" sometimes, in the grand scheme of things, your failures are very very minute

yeah @jvkn I was really taken aback, I actually asked a bunch of other friends the same thing individually and they pretty much all concurred! hahaha I have really been trying to improve

A lot of you guys mentioned success was about achievement and growth- Awesome work that links perfectly to our next question:
Can you think of something that felt like failure but ended up teaching you something? what did you learn?

Can you think of something that felt like failure but ended up teaching you something? what did you learn?
This happens to me all the time!!
Examples of this for me are:
Getting dropped from my footy team - I've learnt to work harder and earn my spot, instead of expecting it.
Or when I fail a unit or assessment at trade school, I feel like I have just let myself and my teachers down, but each time I have failed I have learnt what I can do better next time, to pass.
A big one for me is last year I lost my electrical apprenticeship after 3 years because I made a huge mistake and did something stupid without thinking, I felt like a complete failure, let everyone down and most of all let myself down. I thought, I can't believe I have put all this work in, now effed up, what an idiot. Although I already knew stealing was wrong, I still did it and I have learnt the consequences. Learnt heaps. Would never make that mistake again.

@j95 i've also recently failed a unit at school and found that this semester i've been a lot more motivated to do better. Failures often motivate us and teach us lessons to do better in future outcomes
