  Failure is something we all experience no matter how smart, talented, or successful we are. It’s completely normal, and it’s also one of the best ways to grow. Here are a few things I’ve learned about dealing with failure:
  
  Don’t take it personally. Failing at something doesn’t mean you are a failure. It just means something didn’t work that time.
  
  Learn from it. Ask yourself, What can I do differently next time? Every failure is a chance to improve.
  
  Keep going. Many successful people failed several times before they finally got it right. The key is to keep trying.
  
  Talk to someone. It helps to share how you’re feeling with someone you trust a teacher, friend, or family member. You’re not alone.
  
  Remember: failure is not the end. It’s just part of the journey to success.
