Failure: What are the pros and cons of failing?
As you all know, failure is an act of being unsuccessful. Failure is inevitable. Everyone experiences failure at some point of their lives. However, Is failure a step to a success?Or is it a roadblock on your way to success? Well, to some people, failure leads them to success. For the others, it leads them to even more failures.
Firstly, a failure to succeed will make those perseverant ones to try again and again until they succeed. Take Thomas Edison for example, he invented the light bulb, he tried over 2000 experiments before he got it to work. A young reporter asked him how it felt to fail so many times. He said, "I never failed once. I invented the light bulb. It just happened to be a 2000-step process." His story tells us that failure leads to success.
A failure is an opportunity for us to grow and become a better person because we learn from our failures. Even for those who think they know everything and that they will never become better,
a failure will be a test for them. It will help them realise that they still have room for improvement and they still have things to learn. Failure will be a good lesson for them to learn.
However, do not expect everyone to be persistent like Thomas Edison. There are some people who will fail the test of failure. Once they fail, life will be over for them. All the negative thoughts will surround them and will eventually lead them to something horrific like suicide. For example, a man took his life after failing to make enough money to settle his debts. This kind of situation is very common in this world where money is extremely important.
Failures can also be harmful to people in way that these people will stop trying to succeed. They would never want to try again because they are scared they might fail. It stops them from trying new things which in turn makes them ignorant.
Therefore, failures lead some people to greater life with success and some people to horrible life with never-ending failures. For some, a failure is the end to becoming successful but for the others, it is an opportunity for them succeed!

Good work. Well structured and good language/
I think that you need to decide how failure is going to impact your life. We need to be in control of our lives. :)
“A failure is an opportunity for us to grow and become a better person because we learn from our failures.” This is my favourite sentence in your whole essay! Thomas Edison is also a very good example that you used so that your readers can refer to him when they face failures in their life. Even though there are people who give up when they are faced with failures, it is those that persevere till the end that will taste the sweetness of success! Therefore, I hope you don’t give up when you’re facing any obstacles in life too!
