SUCCESS & FAILURE

Choose the correct answer.

Q: Sophy, what are some types of success?

• We learn which habits are important. We study hard and pass the test. This teaches us to keep studying. If we don't study and we fail, we learn the same thing.

• People can be financially successful, or successful in school, or they can have a good family life.

• I think we learn more from failure. When I fail at something, I know I need to learn a lesson, so I really pay attention. If I'm successful, I might not think about why I am successful.

• Well, you can learn from your relationships with people. If I have a good friendship with someone, it teaches me about what I value in a friendship, like honesty. If I lose a friend because I lied to him, it teaches me not to lie to my friends in the future.
