Failure Is Our Friend

No one wants to fail. We all want to succeed in everything we try and to avoid failure. Nonetheless,
[failing/failed] 1) and learning from our [bitter/sweet] 2) experiences [is/are] 3) necessary for success. In
fact, the most [successive/successful] 4) people are often people who [has/have] 5) experienced many
more failures than [others/the others] 6). One of the most [infamous/famous] 7) examples of someone
who learned from failure was Thomas Edison. He was one of the world’s greatest inventors, and he
[acquired/inquired] 8) over 1,000 patents. Like a wizard, he seemed to take ideas from [thin/thick] 9)
air. However, he also faced tremendous difficulties. Edison is said to have [failed/been failed] 10)
9,999 times before creating a [imperfect/perfect] 11) light bulb. Unlike the average person, Edison saw
these mistakes not as failures but as an inevitable part of the [convention/invention] 12) process. In
response to a question about his errors, he once said, “I have not failed 9,999 times. I’ve successfully
found 9,999 ways that will not work.” Of course, he was right. He was able to achieve success after
failing repeatedly.

These failures can not only motivate us to find a [successive/successful] 13) way to accomplish our
goal but also help us to grow in wisdom and in spirit. Toni Morrison began [to write/writing] 14)
when she was in college, but she did not produce anything good enough to publish for many years.
Her troubled marriage, divorce, and life as a single mother [making/made] 15) it even harder for her
to write. At 39, she published her first novel, The Bluest Eye, [that/which] 16) received mixed reviews
and [did/do/doing] 17) not sell well. However, all her hardships added depth to her novels and
[encouraged/discouraged] 18) her to improve her writing skills. Later in her life, Morrison wrote
masterpieces such as Song of Solomon, Beloved, and Jazz. In 1993, she became the first
African-American woman to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature.

Sometimes failure can lead us to success by showing us that we are not good at something. The
fashion designer Vera Wang, for example, [found/finding] 19) a path to success, thanks to her failure.
At the age of seven, she began [devoting/to devote] 20) herself to figure [skating/skated] 21),
[foped/hoping] 22) to compete in the Olympics. When she was 19, however, she failed to make the
U.S. Olympic team and [quit/quitting] 23) figure [skating/skated] 24). She experienced a brutal letdown.
While [staying/stayed] 25) in Paris, she happened to discover her passion for and talent in fashion
design, [that/which] 26) led her to move to fashion as a [carrier/career] 27). After returning to America,
she started [working/to work] 28) as a salesperson in a clothing store. Developing her [carrier/career]
29) from editor of a fashion magazine to design director for a global brand for about 20 years, she
eventually ended up designing clothes on her own. Today, Vera Wang is a world-famous designer
[whom/whose] 30) elegant dresses are sought after by celebrities the world over.

Still, wouldn’t it be even [better/worse] 31) if we could be [successive/successful] 32) without ever
failing? We may think so, but in the end, performing without failure doesn’t necessarily produce
lasting success. All success with no failure often leads a person to arrogance and carelessness. As a
result, the always [successful/successive] 33) person or organization could suddenly encounter a
disaster. Between the 1960s and the 1980s, NASA, the U.S. agency in charge of researching and
[explore/to explore/exploring] 34) space, completed one [successive/successful] 35) mission after [the
other/another/other] 36) with no significant failure. In 1968, it launched Apollo 8, the first manned
spacecraft to fly around the moon. In 1969, Apollo 11 landed on the moon, and the NASA astronaut
Neil Armstrong became the first person in history to walk on the moon.

During the following years, NASA successfully sent five [other/the other/another] 37) rockets to the
moon. Even when the oxygen tank in Apollo 13 exploded on its way to the moon in 1970, its entire
crew was rescued, and they were able to return home safely. This continued series of successes
made the decision-makers at NASA too self-assured and unable to imagine failure. In 1986, NASA
planned to send its second space shuttle, Challenger, into orbit. Right before the launch, engineers
expressed concerns about mechanical malfunctions and [advised/advising/advise] 38) that the
launching [be postponed/postpone] 39). However, NASA managers did not take their warnings
seriously and [launching/launched/launch] 40) Challenger as planned. Challenger broke apart 73
seconds after it was launched, [resulting/resulted] 41) in the deaths of its seven crew members.

Edison, Morrison, and Wang all suffered big failures, but they never gave up. They learned from their
mistakes and [go/going/went] 42) on to experience even greater triumphs. Like many
[successful/successive] 43) people, we should view failure not as the opposite of success, but as an
indispensable step on the path to [reach to/reach] 44) success. After all, the only way to avoid failures
is to do nothing. J.K. Rowling said [that/what] 45) suffering many failures in her life eventually
enabled her to write the Harry Potter series. She remarked, “Failure taught me things about myself
that I could have learned no [another/other/the other] 46) way.” By risking and
[confronting/confront/to confront] 47) failures and learning from them, we can become wiser and
stronger.
