(opinion essay)

All people have their own life paths. It’s undulating, crooked, and full of ups and downs. Every trap that makes some parts of our lives difficult and sad doesn’t lie at our feet for nothing. So, not all of us are born with stable moral values and priorities in life. It’s failures that teach us to appreciate what we have, it’s failures that open our eyes to something and it is failures that make us a true winner.

It’s not for nothing that they say: “You learn from mistakes!” People who have already gone through many obstacles and gained experience will be smarter and stronger than those who always won. I remember my friend not being able to play the guitar, always making mistakes and going astray. But every evening she tried again and again until she learned to play really well. Each of her mistakes taught my friend and now she plays at big concerts and is proud of her success.

Also, there’s a good example from history, when the famous inventor Thomas Edison was engaged in the development of an electric light bulb. Despite his mistakes and wasted time, he did not give up and said: “I have already found many wrong ways to implement my idea, all that remains is to find the right one.” But he still managed to find the right solution and finish his work!

Of course, a person learns from mistakes. But one mistake won’t make her a great experience. There are a lot of such mistakes on our life path, and the main thing is to have patience. After every fall, you have to go forward, because it’s them who teach us to get up from our knees. In childhood, no one learned from us to walk without bumps on the forehead, just as people won’t learn to live without defeat.
