It means - You have a reason to start afresh.
Failure doesn't mean - "You should give up,"
It means - "You must try harder.

*snicker*
A nice poet. Though failure is not bad, its better to find out the reason of failure and then become succeed. Every people in the world failed in his life for once or more. I saw some friends who destroyed their life just for failure in love or exams. But some other friends never lost their hope and they are currently doing well and become succeed.
Now that's a nice way to comfort someone who's depressed.
Then after doing so, when he/she's in a lighter mood, just give out the realities in life part.
lol, this is a pretty interesting debate that's popped up... I'd have to say, that if you're going to talk about failure in general, I'd have to say that the first post on here isn't the best description... it's more like saying that you actually didn't fail. You should probably try accepting it rather than avoiding the fact that you failed. Failure is part of life, you just have to just accept that it happened and go on with life. The problem that some people have is that they can't stand that they've failed and wallow over it.
Failure is one step towards achievement.
Failure in relations to exams anything less than 70% is failure. (IMO)

I like this post as it has something to say that is worthy of reading. Since not every post has to be a debate its just nice to read what people write.
Failure doesn't mean - "Everyone does better than you,"
It means - You are in the company of people that can challenge you to do better.
Failure doesn't mean - "You have lost hope in people,"
It means - There will also be people that stand out to make your world a better place because of that.
But the problem is that, under certain situation LIFE DOES NOT GIVE A SECOND CHANCE.

This is sadly true.
You cannot pave a way to your goal with failure. You must succeed, and when you fail, you must learn and avoid that failure.
OP's post may be good for people without goals (if they exist?), then really, any failure isn't a failure, it's just a lesson and that's all. However, for people working with time constraints and financial constraints that want to achieve something, anything, the only way for them to 'win' is by perfection.
I agree with the post above. It is hard to go through a failure, and while you feel strong enough to start something again, there might be no second chance
