二、 My Understanding of Failure
This famous quote conveys that when facing failure, we should reflect on ourselves instead of putting the blame on others.
When entering high school, some students performed poorly in exams. They blamed it on the teachers rather than themselves, resulting in even poorer performance. I was no exception. However, recognising there was no point complaining, I adjusted my learning methods straight away and made the most of time to learn. Moreover, I stuck to scientific learning methods and made great progress.
From the experience, I recognised only by bravely taking responsibility for failure rather than blaming others can we succeed.
