 CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

To experience the real excitement of success, one must

experience bitterness of failure for once, and from our errors

we can learn more than learning from our success, and this does

not mean that human deliberately fail to succeed, no one accepts

that. On the contrary, we should look at failed experiences for

success then to invest failure in order to succeed and changing

it from a painful memory to a situation providing us with

benefits and experience throughout our lives. Failure does not

mean giving up as long as it would not be the last objective in

peson’s life, but it becomes a motivation for success and a

ladder to climb and moving towards the best to achieve goals and

objectives. In fact, failure is always associated with

frustrations and fear because of its relation to punishment from

others which takes a form of disrespect, rebuke and punishment

either physical or moral like, beatings and neglecting. Though,

the fear of failure, committing mistakes, permanent feeling or

guilt and not trying to succeed are the failure itself.
