I can't tell you how much I agree with this sentiment. I've never been a particularly good "failer" but I wish I was better. The more we can fail, the better we can get at learning from it and trying again (or moving on). We can be braver, more creative, take more risks, be more confident. I've come to learn how essential failing is for us all. What a shame that schools put such a focus on being good/perfect that children will pretend, stress and cheat to achieve what they are told they need. Or, think they are "a failure", which is an entirely different thing altogether...
