Failure, failure is a term that is not defined. Failure is good, and should be your best friend. Failure helps us learn our mistakes and makes life happen. If there would be no such thing as failure, we would not exist. There would be no such thing as talent, because talent would be the world, and also we would not be happier because we would succeed too much. There would be no such thing as practice, practice would be "failure". But my friend, failure is an undefined thing, something that cannot be defined until you define it yourself. So think to yourself "What is failure" is it what the public says or is it what you say? I think it's what you say because failure is so naive and plain that it's almost physically impossible to accomplish.
Well I hope this helped :)

You are right. If failure didn't exist, we wouldn't care about practice or talent. But failure does exist, and that's just the fact of life and yes it hurts. It's no use to hide from it or pretend the only thing that matters is "that you tried." No amount of practice will prevent you from failing sometimes. You just have to get used to it and keep going.
Failure isn't good, but it isn't the end of the world either. As long as you can still get up, each failure is just a time to try again.

"Any thing worth doing, is worth doing badly"
This means that doing well requires practice. No person drives well the first time, but most poor beginner drivers soon become good drivers. A thing they do well now is one they once did badly. So, failure is good, initially. It is the next effort that determines the value of failure. If it is worse, and it teaches a better path to improvement, it is good. This is the engineering principle that wins Formula 1 races. It applies to all human activities.
Failure can not NOT exist. When two efforts oppose, like in any sporting event, from football to tennis, failure is inevitable on one side, every time. But, if the failure provides learning, it is also a success.
Does this help?

Failure is too subjective for it not to exist. Someone is considered to have "failed" when they dont reach expected results. Yet, for the same event, two different perceptions might say it was a success or a failure.
For example, say you are dancing. One person considers the move cool, namely a success. Another considers it lame, in other words a failure. Yet there was only 1 event. So, failure inevitably exists depends on who you ask.

Technically it doesn't exist.
The only failure is in the eye of the beholder.
Unless your talking about being a rabbit and failing at life by being eaten by a bigger animal.
Sin isn't needed to learn but mistakes are. Mistakes aren;t always failure. Boy this is a tough question.

Success without failure is like darkness without light. How would we learn from our mistakes? How would anyone become wise? Why would anyone put forth any real effort into doing anything?
Failure is the jeweler who turns a rough stone into a shining gem. No failure, no gems.

One would not know love if it were not for hate We would be oblivious to our successes if we knew nothing of failure. Failure has to exist Without opposition, not only can you never win- you will never have the chance to play

Complete absence of failure can only be conceptual and not real, SINCE IT MEANS TOTAL PERFECTION.... and total perfection implies nothing more to do or to be..... absence of failure is thus on the absolute end-point and at that point, it would make no difference whether it exists or not!!

Failure actually makes you try harder to get to the next step and be good at whatever you're doing. I would practice, and if there was no such thing as failure, people would be perfect everyday.

Without failure there would be no comedy... Al Bundy, Homer Simpson, Richard Nixon, The Cleveland Browns. Jay Leno and Letterman would have no one to lampoon. We need balance. Ying and Yang.

If failure didn't exist, we would have either wiped ourselves out by now or we would be living in a Heaven on earth.

Ya makes much sence. If there is no chance of doing better, or doing good ever getting you any thing better. Why even do good. Why try. I heard comunisum dose this to peoples moral from birth. Its horrable.

Failure is good if everyone was good at everything then the world would be boring.

If failure didn't exist, humanity would learn nothing whatsoever and destroy itself in the long run.

There wouldn't be any distinction. For example: we would all receive 10 points for best answer. Yippee?

i think if there was no failure then there would be no succeeding either. and in that case i don't think things would ever get done/be finished.

If failure didn't exist, you would invent it.

It would suck for all the pros but be great for failures.

If failure didn't exist, it would be harder to succeed.

Then capitalism would fail, so I guess it would exist in the end.

Everyone would be mediocre. There would be no success, no competition, we'd all become worthless and probably die as a result.
