Failure is an excellent teacher. It teaches us how to better ourselves. How we can improve on a given situation. Try, if unsuccessful, try again. Use failure for your success.
Should I have allowed an elementary teacher to terrorize me by being called stupid, I would have retreated in my cocoon. No, I showed here. She failed me in her class and moved to an Annex to be with so-called failures. I showed her. I excelled and back to the main school with flying grades. Was I scared? Of course, I was. I was just a little student girl against an adult teacher. That did not stop me. And the rest is history.
“I don’t know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everyone.” ~ Bill Cosby

My turn to sleep.
I sleep now. 🙂
Success is the best revenge!
Indeed.
Good on you Perpetua! Failure is a teacher indeed and you showed her 😉

She should have not been a teacher. Thank you, Lucy.
One should never feel they have failed. Failure is a tool of learning. Without it we often wouldn’t grow to the degree we do.

You are right, Y.
Love the quote by Cosby!!!
Cosby, a man full of wisdom.
Says it all!
Thank you, GAM.
“You can’t please everyone…… so you got to please yourself” for some reason this song came to mind.
That is a sweet song.
Goodonya!
Oh shucks. Thank you.
The power of teachers can be an amazing thing when they are competent and compassionate but the scars can be long lasting when the opposite is true. Good for you in not succumbing!
Hi Teach. Thank you. Children are resilient. For most us or them, we recover. It was only skin deep. Tee hee…
