In the "Dictionary of Chinese Idioms", "failure is the mother of success" is explained as follows: mother, leader. It refers to being good at learning from failures in order to succeed. According to research, it originates from the myth of Kunyu controlling the water.

In the ancient Chinese myth "The Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Classic of the Sea", it is said that Kun stole the soil (soil that can grow) from the Emperor of Heaven to ward off the flood, but without success. The Emperor of Heaven ordered Zhu Rong to kill Kun, but he was still alive although he died. "Returning to Tibet, Qi Zheng" cloud: "Kun died at the age of three and did not rot, and he was cut with a Wu knife, which was to come out of Yu." These words are to say, "Yu was born from the belly of the cang." His father's body did not decompose for three years after his death, and he eventually gave birth to his son, Yu. This shows that this failed hero's ambition has not been rewarded, and his spirit is immortal, and he has passed on his indomitable spirit of struggle to the next generation --- Yu. On the basis of summing up the lessons of the previous generation, Yu used the method of diversion to subdue the flood and achieved success.

Kun failed, Kun gave birth to Yu, and Yu succeeded. Later generations created an idiom based on the fact that "failure gives birth to success" in the myth of Kun Yu's water control: failure is the mother of success.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ above is my query "Failure is the mother of success" Explanation, for so many years, such a sentence does not know how many people have been inspired, I was also convinced in the past, in fact, this is really a famous saying, such a famous sentence is also accompanied by my entire growth, when we fail, many people comfort us like this, failure is the mother of success, our hearts are really not so sad, maybe it is really a good medicine that can comfort people. But I'm also very surprised that I actually had my own opinion on this statement the other day, and I don't intend to overturn the truth, I just want to express some of my own opinion.

I remember one thing, I have been doing it, that is, the civil service exam, is my dream of thinking, I have not graduated from college, that is, in the second half of the third year I bought the book of the civil service exam, and I didn't think of taking the exam at that time, but the cover of the book is so beautiful that I deeply attracted me, or the book that has been processed after the exam, 5 yuan a piece, it is really very cheap, at that time I didn't think about what to test during the exam, just listened to the introduction of the book seller, and bought 3 copies in one breath, respectively"Administrative Vocational Aptitude Test", "Commentary", "Public Basic Knowledge" ,Such a thick book,But after I bought it back,I didn't plan to take the test,It's been in my own dormitory,What I didn't expect is that when I graduated,There was already a civil service exam.,That happened to be the first exam in 2008.,I signed up.,It's the national exam.,I don't know the difficulty.,I didn't know the difficulty.,I wasn't scared by such a difficulty.,But at the beginning,I heard a brother of mine say that a boy in our school was admitted to the national civil service.,He stood out among hundreds of people.,First place in the written test.,After the interview.,The results of the second place.,In fact, hundreds of people who signed up for this position.,As long as two,He was admitted. The senior brother told me that I was from the same village as him, and I knew him and his family, and that their family was all civilians within three generations, so where did the relationship come from? He just kept reading books of his own will, as if he was going to graduate school, and others were preparing for the graduate school entrance examination, he was a civil service exam, and he was also reading in the graduate school entrance examination room, and he was admitted in this way after half a year. At that time, my senior brother and I were because of his story, and we also began to prepare for the civil service exam, and we still thought that we both graduated from the same school, and the college entrance examination should be about the same, and the IQ should be not much different, so let's rush it, sign up, and go to the exam. I watched the number of applicants for the position I signed up for increase from dozens to hundreds, from hundreds to more than 1,000, and in the end, it could only end in failure. The test results have come down, and I haven't taken the written test.

In the following years, the civil service examination became more and more popular, we are also one of the many living beings, every time I go to take the civil service examination, in fact, the biggest experience is that I am really too small, the crowded campus, I looked at the photos taken by reporters, the kind of crowded picture is only in reality, every time the civil service examination is jammed with traffic, the size of the test center is all like this, I found that in the current society, there are so many people with diplomas, but I feel that I am so insignificant. I participate every year, I don't pull it down once, and I continue to motivate myself, from the beginning of the confidence, to the recent can't read the book, because of the age, the ability to learn is poor, but still every time in the test, really don't give up. Every time in addition to preparing the hotel room one day in advance, arranging a day of food and lodging, the rest is left to answer questions in the examination room, continuous summary, continuous drills, people say that the civil service test must be enough to have 10,000 questions in order to have harvest and master skills. However, I only met this requirement in terms of quantity, and in the end it was fruitless.

Slowly, I started to play soy sauce for such an exam, anyway, I can't pass the exam, so just go to the exam and forget it, when I go to sign up every time, some of my friends will say, you have that money you might as well invite us to dinner, and some are directly said, you just give me the money, don't waste the registration fee, you really can't, I'm also drunk, but I still haven't given up, every time the civil service exam starts, I still participate as always, I think, if I can't pass the exam, I will still give it a try, the age limit for the civil service exam is under 35 years old, I still want to be in the age range when it's still within this range, I have been trying, I am 31 years old, that is, there are still 4 years of chance. However, it has been 9 years since I graduated, and most of the opportunities have been wasted, and I feel that hope is getting slimmer and slimmer. However, it has not been completely eliminated, only the opportunity to sign up is left, and in the next few years, I will still work hard until I am 35 years old.

Hope is very slim, but the people around me are still admitted, the boy when I first joined the work was admitted to the court, and one of my colleagues was admitted to the township clerk, but I can't. I slowly realized that the content I summarized in the civil service examination actually gained nothing, but I just cultivated a never-say-die heart, every time I was rejected, every time I failed, I knew that I was rejected more times, except for reflection, only numbness. Defeat after defeat, defeat after defeat. I also suddenly realized that failure is really the mother of success? Failure is the mother of success, I understand that the meaning should be failure, not terrible at all, as long as you continue to summarize in failure, continue to find the reasons and reasons for failure, and finally achieve success, for example, your first 100 times are failed attempts, but the 101st time you succeeded, oh, the first 100 times are for the last time to do the foreshadowing, it can be said that failure is really the mother of success. But haven't you thought about it? If you go through a thing, no matter how many times you go through it, it doesn't matter how many times you go through it, it doesn't matter if it's 100 times, it's 200 times, or even 1,000 times........ There are many, many times, and in the end you still don't succeed, and you're still a loser, how can you solve this? You don't succeed at all, where is the mother of failure? Whose mother is failure? I don't know. We have also encountered many such things in our lives, that is, we have experienced many times, and in the end we still failed, then all your previous efforts are meaningless, everything is still zero, and the final outcome is still nothing, but you have cultivated an unyielding heart. Later, I thought, even if it doesn't work, then don't pay attention to the result, as long as you enjoy the process of life, it's good, the ups and downs of life, all kinds of tastes have been tasted, it is for such a process and taste to exist, don't chase the result, because maybe many things have no final ending, and what is the final ending of life, that is, you die, and then someone else buries it, that's all, so I can only write here. Ha ha. No matter how high your position is, one day you will be derelict in your duties and have no position, then enjoy the frustrations and bitterness of life, there is no big deal, just a taste. I'm just giving an example, there are still a lot of other similar things, failure, failure, failure, success, success, all of these are just a process of life, a taste of life, we should focus on the scenery along the way.

So my conclusion is that sometimes failure is indeed the mother of success, and that is only relative to success, and sometimes, failure is a veritable failure, which has nothing to do with success, and can only be accepted.
