Failure (失败) is a part of life since our earliest moment of life. We often think of failure as something bad.
Don’t be afraid of failure
Failure is how we learn. If we never fail at something, we probably haven’t learned all that life has to teach us. So failure means taking something away from the experience.
Never stop trying
Trying or learning something new is often half the battle (战斗), don’t give up trying. You may get disappointed because of failure.
Nobody can be our safety nets all the time in our lives. Only we can act as our own safety nets. Become your own best friend, do everything that you can possibly do for yourself.

| A．Learn to depend on ourselves. |
| B．There’s nothing back there to see. |
| C．But failure is a normal and natural part of life. |
