why do we hate exams most., because of failure.
The reason for fear can be due to a traumatic event or poor experience.
We shouldn’t take failure personally because, there is nothing called as failure, it is also a part of life which makes us successful.
Every successful person had to face failure in their lives at least once. We all know failure is the pillar of success.
Accept the failure is normal (and sometimes it can be a good thing too).
Failure is the best teacher of our lives . It teaches us the most important factors and chapters of life. It teaches us what success doesn’t.
