I was recently asked in an interview to talk about something I have failed out and what I was able to learn from it. The company I was interviewing for embraces failure as they believe much growth can come out of it.
It was an easy answer.
My marriage.
It was probably the first thing I had really truly failed at. Of course there were the occasional tests I didn't do so well on in grade school...but none of those tests taught me anything other than I needed to study more.
No, my marriage was the first thing I really had failed at. And it taught me so much about myself, about what I want in a partner, what I'm not willing to give up...it taught me to live in happiness and to understand and know what balance can do for my life.
They are right, my failure has led to my growth and subsequently many successes.
