Failing

There are many books in the market today that talk about success. How to be successful, how to achieve, etc.... To my knowledge so far, little has been written on the subject of failure. I guess the reason why it has not been widely touched on is that our society has been programmed to shun failures. We look down on people who failed. We look at "drop out" differently. Falling is considered taboo. We measure people by their achievements. We put a high value on "success" but little or no value on "failure".
Is there little or no value in falling? If that is so, why is it that all lives of great men that I have had the good fortune to read about - the tougher the failures they suffered, the greater they finally became?

I would go so far as to say that great failures actually made great men! There are very few if any, great men who had not gone through hardship and failures in their lives.

In fact, it produces so many great man, that I can safely say that the value of falling is greater than that of the success. But alas! Many people do not see it that way - we only think of winning and winning all the time.......
