Success is ninety-nine percent failure. – Soichiro Honda

Firstly, there are many standards in defining “success”. According to the Dictionary. com, success is the attainment of wealth, position, honors, or the like. It means that each person has his or her level of success, which means some people would think they are success when they earn a large amount of money; some would prefer a high social status; some would consider as having a happy family or achieved their personal goal. “Failure”, on the other hand, it is a feeling that people are disappointed when their goal or achievement cannot be reached.

To be able to reach achievements, failure could be use as a stepping-stone toward success. In other words, “Failure is the mother of innovation. ” The underlying implication shows that each failure is a step along the road to success. People should experience what they have learnt from failure; once they failed they could use the failure as a lesson and learn from what they have failed, use it to gain experience and move toward success.

For instance, every person cannot run before they learn how to walk, and they must have the feeling of pain for improvement, and they also need to learn how to stand up wherever they fell.
