After hearing a story from my Chinese teacher I have changed my opinion on failure. It was a story about a girl who always succeeded and never 1 . Luck never 2 . Her life was totally perfect until she 3 working. She found she could not stand any 4 in her work, and she envied either her boss or any colleague who was better than her. At last she went mad, only because she was always thinking that she had no 5 , she was the best one. I've really learned something from this story that failure can easily defeat a person who seldom fails or never learns 6 from it; yet it can never 7 the wings of a person who is strong-willed and always tries to get something from it. Although sometimes it is true that failure stabs you to the heart, it gives you power and 8 you grow up and have strong will. It also teaches you to be calm and never 9 when you are in trouble. So don't be afraid of failure. If you think you are on the right 10 , just keep on doing it and you will succeed one day.
