A friend recently asked me: what is one thing you were not taught in school but should have learned anyway? I thought about this question seriously, and realized that my answer would primarily be: to learn how to accept, respond, and move from failures. Growing up, I did whatever I could to stay away from trouble, to avoid making mistakes as this would only lead to demerits, disappointments, and a lot of scolding. Mistakes and failures are not the kinds of things being rewarded when we were young. But there are, I realized later on, necessary to learning. There are many things I started to see and learn from after making mistakes, and I also found growth as I move past such experiences.

\nHence, reading John C. Maxwell's book, entitled "Failing Forward", I was made more aware of the importance of failing and rising above life's many challenges. The book, despite being short, is filled with nuggets of wisdom that I hope to share with you also through this episode.
