My experience of failure

Two years ago, I joined a speech contest at my school. I prepared for weeks, practicing my speech every day. I memorized every word and tried to speak with confidence. I believed I had a good chance to win.

On the day of the contest, I stood on the stage, feeling nervous but excited. However, as I started speaking, my mind suddenly went blank. I forgot some of my lines and began to panic. My voice trembled, and I couldn’t focus. Although I tried to continue, I knew I wasn’t performing my best.

In the end, I didn’t win any prizes. I feel disappointing and frustrate. But later, I realized that failure is a part of learning. This experience taught me the importance of staying calm under pressure. If I join another contest in the future, I will prepare not only my speech but also my mindset.

Though I failed, I learned a valuable lesson, and I believe I will be better next time.

when I was a senior high school student ,

my teacher assigned everyone to group up and make a presentation and I was choosen to be the leader of our group.

At the beginning I thought this assignment is just a piece of cake, but a few minutes later I realized I am not a good leader,I don't know what to,do what to say,I don't know how to unite my group to work.

In the end the teacher choose another member to be the leader I was so embarrassed, after this experience I learned:"never look down on the things that you never tried."

"I can't do it."I yelled in tears after I left the lab.

When I first joined the science club, I was full of excitement and have a lot of passion. The club was preparing for a big science competition, and I couldn’t wait to contribute and prove myself.With the grand idea for an experiment, I believed would impress everyone. However, things didn’t went as I thought.

The experiment kept failing, no matter how hard I tried. The devices I designed didn’t work as I expected. Every time I thought I had fixed one problem, another one popped up. I started to feel hopeless and even want to give up. And every time I stepped outside the lab, with no smile,with no energy.

Due to my sadness,I tell my frustration to my science teacher. He smiled and said, “Failure is a normal part of the process. Even great scientists like Thomas Edison failed many times before they succeeded. Imagine if Edison had given up, we might not have the light bulb today!” His words let me keep going. I realized that failure wasn’t something to fear or avoid because it was a step toward to success.

With his encouragement, I decided to keep going. With days and nights hard working , making small adjustments and learning from every mistake. It wasn’t easy, but I refused to give up. Slowly but surely, things become better and better.

Finally, the day of the competition arrived. To my surprise, my experiment worked perfectly, and the judges were impressed. I couldn’t believe it when they announced that our team had won first place. The joy and pride I felt at that moment were beyond words.

This experience taught me that failure isn’t the end—it’s just a part of the journey.

When I was in the first semester of 9th grade, it was my second time taking part in the county debate competition. Our school was divided into two teams. One team was made up of 8th graders, and the other was our team.

Just before we were about to smoothly advance to the semifinals, one of our team members was feeling upset after the last round. And then our teacher decided to have an alternate player step in for the next round. This would turn out to be an incredibly wrong decision.

By the time of the next round, my mind was already unsettled, and I couldn’t perform at my best. And the performance of the alternate player was even more painful to watch. In the end, the judges scored us 0-3 against our opponents. Even now, I still don't know how to describe the sadness I felt at the time. After all, it was my last chance in middle school, and yet I had taken a step back.

At that time, my teammate who didn't get to play and I cried our hearts out.More than that, for some reason, our opponents handed us some tissues, and it instantly made me feel warm. This was in stark contrast to the attitude of our teachers.

After the entire county competition was over, the teacher said, “It's okay. At least we still had one team got second place!”. It sounded especially harsh. She would still get a good coaching record, but we just had nothing.

By now, it doesn't matter anymore. Although this experience may be a mark in my life that I’ll never be able to erase, no matter how much time passes.

When I was in sixth grade, our school built a volleyball team. I join it without hesitation because I had great passion about volleyball.

Our coach is a very nice person, she always treat us nice, and she teached us lots of skill.

At first, we just wanted to play and have fun, after some time, when our skills became more and more better. We found out that we weren't just wanted to play, we wanted to take part in a competition and won. Now I think about it, it was a naive idea. At that time

we all think we were ready for the competition, and our coach signed up a competition for us after a few months. Before the competition, we practiced more often. The coach chosed me to be a setter, my work was to send ball to the air, and let the outside hitter to hit the ball. I practice everyday because I knew setter is the keypoint of the team. I can't make any mistake.

The time past by.

On the day of the competition, when the game started. Everyone was so nervous that our hands and foot can't moved an inch on the field, beside a setter, I was the leader of the team too, I needed to stood out and cheered everyone up. But I was so nervous too. Fortunately my friend patted my back and gave us encouragement. But when we looked at the scoreboard. 20:7 I remembered it until today. I knew I needed to do somthing, but evertime when I touched the ball, I can't send it to the right point. This made us lose the competition. I was so upset that I thought it was all my fault. The coach comfort me. She said that volleyball is a team sports. It's not a personal sports. I learned a lesson from this experience.

When I was in junior high school, I was selected to participate in a Taiwanese speech contest. Before the competition, I practiced with my teacher in my spare time. I thought I had exercised enough to face this challenge. I hoped to win first place.

As a consequence, this is my first time giving a speech in Taiwanese in front of lots of people, I was too nervous that I forgot the correct pronunciation, I felt so embarrassed that I kept shaking on the stage. As a result, I got the third place in the contest.

After that, my teacher told me not to put too much pressure on myself and be calm when facing the challenges. Therefore I tried to be normal mind to everything. For example I started to practice in front of mirror, I think it can improve my confidence.

Through this experience, I think failure is a great opportunity to progress yourself to become better. In general, we shouldn’t fear failure because it is an important process , so enjoy the challenges.

When I was six years old, I was watching my favorite cartoon in the living room of my aunt's house.The story is about the little girl was learning how to ride a bike.After watching this cartoon,I decided to learn how to ride a blike like the character.Because I didn’t think that riding a bicycle was a difficult task at that time ,my goal was learning to ride a bike and I wouldn’t have any failure experience.

When I first rode a bicycle, I felt a strong sense of fear.I couldn’t keep balance by myself.At that moment,I fell down heavily.Even worse,I hit my head on the wall. I felt intense pain and cried loudly.After this horrible experience,I just wanted to give up right away.However,my father told me that don't be afraid of failure, try more and you will succeed on one day.He encouraged me try again and again ,and that he will teach me how to ride the bicycle.

After this failure, I started to ride my bike carefully and no longer acted recklessly and hurt myself.Besides,my uncle and my father helped me learn how to keep balance when I was riding a bike.Over times,I could ride a bicycle by myself that I didn’t rely on anyone. I were super happy and felt more braver when riding a bicycle.This experience was my first failure experience and also

my first experience of success.

From this experience I learned that failure is not terrible, what  terrible is giving up.We shouldn’t escape the failure,which is the only way to succeed.It influenced my attitude which I face failures in the future. If I could go back in time,I must be more careful when I was learning how to ride a bike .After all,getting hurt isn’t a good thing!!

One time, when I was in the sixth grade of primary school, I participated in a national calligraphy competition. I was full of confidence and felt that I was bound to win. Everything went well at first. Unexpectedly, halfway through the contest, I accidentally spilled ink on my work. Although it is common for people to get dirty during practice, it still frustrated me when my work got dirty during a competition, but I still finished it. After this failure experience, even if I didn’t get a good ranking, I learned to be cautious and have the patience to complete everything. Don’t stop because of failure halfway. Even if the results are not as expected, I can still learn something from it and remind myself not to make the same mistakes next time.

Now i try to change my mind, try to find the balance between inner and outer. And still learning to expect that no one is perfect.

It was a junior high school sports meeting last year, I stood on the shot put competition venue. At that time, I told myself that I needed to win because of the daily train and it was the last time of the sport meeting in junior school.

Unfortunately, though I did all I can do and tried so hard, the distance of the shot put remained the same and couldn’t go any further. At the end, I got second place, although it was the best result I had, I still felt a little pity because I didn't achieve my goad.

When I went back to my classroom, everyone was clapping and looked at me with respect because they all saw that how hard work I was. That's my experience of failure, although I failed, I didn’t regret everything I did for that game. It will be a memory that I will never forget.

I was chosen to join the Taiwanese speech contest when I was eighth grade. At that time,I wanted to get the top three,but I didn’t have sufficient confidence in myself,not having enough time to practice on the contest.My training teacher comforted me in some warm words and ask me to practice more times.Even though I still felt frustrated and helpless,I spent more time at home trying to solve my problems.

After the contest finished,I checked the results online immediately.When the contest results appeared on the website,I exactly realized that I had failed.I felt unacceptable and annoyed at the moment,but my father encouraged me and asked me not to deny my efforts.

I reflected on myself after calming down.I knew that the price behind all success is far greater than I imagined and I had more courage to face the consequences of failure.I want to say that if we have a goal,we have to try our best so that we won’t see ourselves regretting on the important things.Also,if I could back in time, I would practice more and be more confident

It was the last sport competition in my junior high. Everyone had been practicing the relay for two months and hoped to have a nice score in the game. With the fire of gun exploded, everyone started running in a split second. In my turn, I ran in my fastest speed. Suddenly, while I was delivering the baton to the next person, I dropped the baton somehow. I picked up the baton in hurry, but still wasted a few seconds. After the competition, I stood in loss and didn't know how to face my classmates. I said sorry to them in guilt. Unexpectly, they didn't blame me, and they also comfort me about the mistake I made. "It doesn't matter,"they said. I was so touched at that moment and feel fortunate that I have such good classmates. From this experience of failure, I will practice more and be more careful in next game so as not to make the same mistake in future.

Since I went to junior high school, math has become a big problem in my lessons. When I was in eighth grade, I decided

to get a better score in math.

But I found that math questions use too difficult for me to solve, little by little, I almost failed.However, my friends kept encouraging me. After then, I just keep trying hard, try my best.

On the day of the exam, I felt nervors and anxious when I wrote the exam paper because I forget a important formula.

Take it for granted, I was disappointed after the exam, and my friends told me that it was fine, we also had chance to achieve our goals.

After I went home, sat in front of my desk, and started to recall several things I done during the two months,I thought I was likely to eager for success so I ignored that

basic exercises was important.

“Remembering the basic formala was the first step to do, anyway, let the foundation strong then climbed higher.” It was the lesson I learn in this experience.

When I was in junior high school, our school organized an inter-class volleyball competition. Volleyball,one of my favorite sports. Therefore, I felt like to take part in the race to fight for my class, and so did my friends. Therefore, we were asked to be the players in our class to win the championship.

We practiced playing volleyball day by day. Although we often had some arguments during our training, it didn't affect our friendship that much. The time passed, the date of the competition was just around the corner. All of us were extremely nervous, but our teacher encouraged us,"Don't be so nervous, what you guys have to do is just make sure that you won't hurt yourselves during the game, and that's all." "We will!" We replied. After that, we got our confidence back, and won the first game.

However, not everything goes smoothly all the time. The competitors matched the point so quick that just like us in the first game. We start to be anxious about the result of the race. For the purpose of winning the game, we tried our best to concentrate on the landing points of the ball. Nonetheless, we still lost the race. As the judge blew the whistle, I couldn't believe that we had already lost the game, especially the championship. I couldn't even imagine how many people's expectations that I failed. Everyone who had involved in the competition were all in tears. All of our classmates and teachers came beside us and cheered us up. At that moment, I didn't know how to face them. My best friends kept comforting me," You have done your best,didn't you? It doesn't matter whether you get the championship or not. You weren't injured and that is enough." Suddenly, I realized that win or lose is not that important. In contrast, what you have learned and experienced through the process, is the most important things.

I wanted to talked or said hello to her but we just like a stanger. I didn't know why and I was sad. I went to ask my mother because I didn't know how to do. She suggested me to think about the last time I talked to her. I suddenly realized that everytime was she went to find me. I thought she maybe very disappointed because she went to this school due to me.I was sorry to her. I found her when it's getting to summer vacation. I said sorry to her and we talked about many things. I knew we couldn't be the best friend again, but I was happy because our misunderstanding was be solved.After the failure, I learned that cherish the friendship was important.If I could go back in time, I think I could have more friends and we are also friends today.

When I was a junior high school student, I joined a Chinese competition.During the preparation, my Chinese teacher printed a lot of question banks for me to practice. Quickly, the day of the school competition arrived, and I successfully advanced to the next round.I bought a book that would help with the competition, and I read it again and again.My teacher told me that It's your first time joining this competition, it might be a bit hard to win.but I wanted to give it a try, so I kept practicing hard.

The day of competition arrived, and I was so nervous. When the game ended, I walked out the exam room. In an instant, I felt much lighter. In the evening, the result were announced. I clicked into the website, and carefully scanned the list of winners. Sadly,my name wasn't there. Although I had a feeling it might happen, I was still very upset in that moment.

By night,I got home, my teacher sent a message to me. She told me "result aren't everything, I know that you learned a lot in the preparation process, and that will become your greatest reward." After reading the message, I realized that I had place too importance on winning or losing. I found that my efficiency in Chinese exam improved a lot after practicing. I think I was able to identify my own issues and grow from them is more rewarding than a medal.

When I still a second grade junior high school，I had a
volleyball game.Volleyball is a team sport，This means that no matter how strong one’s ability is, it’s useless. So my class lost in third place.

After the game I started ignoring him，but as time passes by，I began to understand my immaturity.During a cleaning time, my friend and I found there was a ball on the tree，and he found，too.Then，he started jumping，jumping hard，but he still could't get the ball.I looked at it, then I jumped and got the ball easily......

After that，I began to understand the talent gap between each person. Some things I thought were simple were difficult for him to do, and some things he thought were simple I thought were impossible.

So I set my game goal as 70 points.I don’t have a really good eyesight so It’s not easy to aim the target.But I took a lot of practice so that didn’t matter.The biggest challenge to faced is my hand stability.The gun is very heavy that over 2 kilograms.It’s very difficult to hold it until I completely finish aiming.but I still can get 70 so I thought it wouldn’t be a big problem.Finally,it’s the day,Before I went to the range,my teacher encouraged me.And I met my teammate,accidentally,They were my old friend in the elementary school.That way,I didn’t felt any nervous.Ten minutes later,the game started,I grabbed the gun and aimed the target.I pull the trigger confidently.It was fascinated until I returned the target paper.I looked at the paper frighteningly and go back to wait.when my teammate returned,I still remember the things he said”xxxx I only got 20”.At that time,The memories recalled I believed that the gun was broken.When the Sudden I shot,The strong wind blows to my face and hands,It’s unusual.The shooting range is in door,It shouldn’t be any wind in it.But it was too late to change the gun,every one were finished.I got 18 and my partner got 20.It was not acceptable but we can’t do anything more.After we back to school every classmate asked me the results,sadly,I couldn’t say anything.after few days,I made a massive decision,I decided to give up this sport.I spent so much time and money to prepare the game,and finally I got nothing.It has been three years since the game.I think if I have the opportunity to join the sport again,I will go back to practice it.Because,I am different from the time I failed.

So I am more cherished my things now and never allow gamble easily.The story happened when the after-school program is over class, ma and my friend are waiting our parents. Waiting is always boring for little boys, so we play this game to kill time.The game did not require gambling according to our rules, but one of the boy said it is too boring to not gamble and let us try it. The good side is we can take loser’s toy, in the other hand, we may lose. I do not think that much so I allow the new rule. In the end, I lost a lot of my collection. I think it is a valuable experience for me to face unknown and it also gives me an excellent piece of advice: Think twice before you do it.

During my third grade of junior high school, I spent time and effort preparing for the CAP. In the first two mock exams, I always got good results, which were enough to get me into my dream school. At that time,I thought everything would be so smoothly.

However, at the same time, I also had to prepare for other activity. For debate competitions, I have to do research, write scripts, and discuss with my teammates in the middle of the night to improve our arguments.

Because of the music competition, I need time to practice and develop my skills.

These things took away my study time. At the first, I didn’t think it would affect me much. In the third mock exam, I luckily got over 5A, but the number of “+” marks were decreased, I don't believe these changes are owing to the competition, I just think it was a little mistake.

I tried to “tell”—or maybe I was just fooling myself—that it was just a small mistake. I believed that when all the competitions over, my grades would return. But the result disappointed me.

In the final mock exam, I faced many difficulties because of careless mistakes and unfamiliarity with key points and knowledge,and I received a result that I am unhappy with.

The last days that I could prepared for passed quickly. On the day of the exam, my teacher who knew me well told me, “Don’t let negative thoughts affect or hurt you. I understand how you feel—the last mock exam was a big hit to your confidence. But try to adjust your mind,I believe you can do it.”

But I never believed in myself, I murmur in my mind.

While waiting for the scores, I tried to relax myself,try not to be too shocked by a bad results. But when I saw my real scores, I still felt regret and guilt. I cried in the practice room thus my score was more lower than the mock exam. I no longer had the chance to get into the school that I wanted.

In this case,I actually think that I didn’t even have the right to cry.

From the beginning, my study attitude had always been too careless. I depended on short-term memory to handle all test. Then in the end, everything proved my foolishness .

The CAP taught me an important lesson: “Take everything seriously.” Before make the dreams and goals come true, I must put in real effort. If I don’t work hard first, I will only be punch by reality again and again, just like before.

I hope that I can always remember what that teacher told me: “Before talking about dreams and ambitions, sit down, study hard, and make yourself stronger.”

Back to 2018, during the summer vacation when I was in elementary school from the third grade to the fourth grade, I participated  a Go game, and as long as I won that game, I could go to the next level.

At that time, I was full of confidence and never thought that I would fail in the most important Go game.

As the game started, because of my repeated mistakes and underestimation of my opponent, the  condition became more and more unfavorable to me, and I became anxious and nervous.

Of course,I ended up losing the game ,and

failed to the next level.

At that time, I couldn't accept and believe the result.Just because of this, I gave up learning Go.I regret it now when I think about it. I often wonder: “If I have not given up Go just because of this failure, could  I grow more now?”

But it is also because of the experience ,  now  I am better able to accept the failure and turn it into the motivation to not be defeated next time.

This story happened when I was in 6th grade. I was in an athlete class and specialized in race walking. I had always been the champion in Yunlin County since I started learning the sport.

Everything seemed to be going well until I qualified for the National Competition. On the day of the competition, I was so nervous that my mind went blank, and my hands were covered in sweat. Seeing my opponents full of confidence, I suddenly felt so insignificant.

My coach noticed my anxiety and comforted me, saying, “Don’t worry about others, just enjoy the game.”

Unfortunately, my nervousness and anxiety ruined my rhythm. When I heard the cheering sound, I rushed forward recklessly.

Leaving behind the pacing strategy I had practiced for a long time, the same words kept echoing in my mind: “Keep going! The end is not far away!”

However, due to my recklessness, my energy gradually dissipated, and I had no strength left. Watching my opponents surpass me one by one, I felt unwilling yet helpless. Finally, I reached the finish line, but I just couldn’t help but cry. My tears were filled with regret and frustration.

My coach came over and held me. She said something I would never forget in my life: “It’s no big deal. It’s just a game. But you have to remember—stay calm when facing challenges. Don’t panic because of anxiety.”

Although the game was not perfect, I gained experiences that are more valuable than winning the championship.

Then the day of the race came. I was pretty nervous so my teacher and friends told me to relax, hoping it would make me feel better. But as soon as the starting gun fired,I fell down. All the bad emotions rushed into my mind. Even so,I had no time to think, the only thing I should do was back on my feet and keep running. After passing the baton, I couldn’t help but cry, because I was the reason that made our class fell behind.

After the race, my teachers and classmates came over to comfort me . My teacher said,” Life is unpredictable.” No one could predict what would happen. It was OK to make mistakes, especially when someone doesn’t mean to do that.

Like my teacher said ,things won’t always go as we expect. The best way to overcome it is to accept it and grow stronger. So the next time I face the same difficulties, I will be more positive and become tougher.

But after the midterms exam, I saw my failing grades of geography,I felt scared because I realized the subject will be more difficult, if I still didn’t pay attention to studying, my grades would be worse. Therefore, I think that I should study more hard to improve my record.Since then,I paid more attention in geography classes and did more exercises of geography every day. Although I felt really tired for a while, I still inspired myself to keep pushing and perseve. Through my hard work, I got a good grade in my final exam, and I learned that "With determination and hard work, anything is possible."

There were once a relay race when I was in elementary school. I was chosen to be the fifteenth baton in our team. In every PE classes, every one all practiced hard for the purpose of winning the first place.

At the beginning of the race, our team was ahead of the other. I was very confident that the victory belongs to us. But as the baton was handed to my hand, I somehow failed to catch it. Soon after, the other team came and passed me, finally winning the game.

After that, I felt so guilty since our team lost due to my mistake. Later, I slowly walked to the resting area and exploded with sadness. After seeing me crying, some of my teammates comforted me despite the failure. Thanks to them, I felt much better. But if I can get back to that moment when I was waiting for the baton, I would be more careful.

It was in my elementary school, when I was in grade 5&6 I was a basketball player. I had maken up my mind that I wanted to be the best player since then. At first, I had a good friend, we told each other we were the best friend forever, but time went through, it changed. There was a period of time I didn't play well, always dragged others down. We did may physical training and we were so exhausted, I thought it was one of the reasons that my ex-best friend started to treat me bad. When we were training, they passed the ball heavily, didn't pass ball to me even if I was free, spoke ill of me. I was extremely depressed ar that time, I even told my teacher I wanted to quit and cried every day. After speaking to my teacher and my coach, I didn't leave, so I trained harder, I wanted to be a major player in the team. As I could play well in the team, they treated me better, many of them couldn't bit me down cause I was important. I became a shooter and had good cooperation with others, and we finally got second place in National competition in Taipei. We enjoyed cheers of the audiences, brought glory to our school. I've learned that practices makes perfect, failure is the mother of success, when one door shuts, another opens. There's no impossible we can't do, just do it and believe yourself.

Eewn worse, when the time pass, I get more and more tension and overwhelmed .

It's time to grade the test papers, and the score turn out to be terrible. I heard my teacher say" This test wsn't too difficult, but many students didn't do well ." ,my heart sank. I had a strong desire to succeed,but the red marks on the paper clearly showed that I had failed.

"Dad, I am really bad at math ." I said. "Don't worry. If you master the basic questions and skips the difficult ones, you will not lose too many points ." His advice was so sample that I had never thought about. I had been too eager for quick success and instant benefit, I am poor at this so I need to stay positive and take the things one step at a time.

I had always loved soccer. It wasn’t just a game to me—it was a place where I could run freely, feel the wind against my face, and be part of something bigger than myself. But being on my school’s soccer team wasn’t as fun as I had imagined. Two teammates, Emily and Sarah, made sure of that. They weren’t just competitive; they were mean. Their sharp words and mocking laughs turned every practice into a battle, not just against the ball but against their judgment.

For a long time, our team felt tense. Some of us tried to ignore them, others stayed silent, but the negativity never left. I did my best to focus on the game, but their words still stung. Then came the game that changed everything.

It was a tough match, and we were barely holding on. I sprinted across the field, determined to block a pass, but in that split second, something went wrong. My foot landed at a bad angle, and pain shot up my leg. I collapsed. The world blurred, and I knew something was seriously wrong. A sharp pain throbbed in my bone—I had fractured it.

As I lay there, clutching my leg, I expected my teammates to be worried. Instead, Emily and Sarah shouted at me. “Are you kidding me? Now we don’t have a sub for you!” Sarah groaned. “We’re doomed to lose!” Emily added, her frustration turning into anger.

I couldn’t believe it. No concern, no sympathy—just blame. The pain in my leg was nothing compared to the sting of their words.

The team played the rest of the game without me, and yes, they lost. But what hurt more was that neither of them ever apologized. I kept waiting for an “I’m sorry” or even an acknowledgment of what had happened, but it never came.

At first, I was furious. I kept replaying their words in my head, letting their cruelty weigh me down. But after a while, I realized something important: people like them weren’t worth my energy. I had spent too much time letting their negativity affect me, when in reality, they were just two voices out of many.

I healed. I moved forward. I kept playing soccer, but this time, I didn’t let people like them define my experience. The lesson I learned? Some people will always try to bring you down, but you don’t have to stay down with them. Keep looking ahead—because the future is always bigger than the moment of pain you’re in.
