Failure is a good thing

Success is boring

First-time success is usually a fluke.

If it's your first time doing something you should expect to fail at least once

If you succeed on your first try it seems luck based as you don't know much about the thing you're doing

Success doesn't teach you anything

You can't learn from your mistakes when you haven't made any

You can't teach people how to avoid failure if you never experienced it

Failure is how you learn

The more you fail, the more you know about the thing you're failing

To fail: you have to do something, if you fail a lot that means you do a lot of what you're doing

Think of failing as practice

If you fail a lot you'll start learning from your mistakes

After failing a lot you will start learning how to NOT fail

If you never fail you will never know what causes failure

Failure gives you credibility

If you succeed in everything it wont seem believable

Sharing stories of your failures make you seem more 'human' and it may make people trust you more

Try your best

If you do a lot of something then there will always be a time where something would be 'the worst'

Ex. The guy in the essay talks about how he works on newspapers and he always has one newspaper that's worse than the other ones.

There will always be a best and worst despite how good or bad you are

Always do your best so even your 'worsts' are good

Since there's always a worse, you should make everything your best so that even your worse is your best (If that makes sense)

Although there would always be a worst, keep aiming for the top
