Failure
and success are both important to build character.
Children can't learn how to face failure if they
never fail. No one is always successful. Everyone
will meet failure throughout his or her whole life.
Although
encouraging children to be successful is good for
them, letting them face their failure is also an
important lesson for them.
Our
children will face a more complex world than we do.
We can't be by their side forever. We hope they can
handle everything.
That's
why we should teach them to face everything, both
good and bad, and to learn from everything, both
failure and success.
