THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FAIL AND FAILURE



People are always getting the words failing and failure mixed up even though they have completely different meanings. When a person fails something they messed up or lost something once but most likely have the opportunity to make up the mistake. When a person is failure they have completely and utterly failed everything in their life from beginning to the end with no way of making it up. You see what I mean? When I take a test in school or when I try to do something I think that I can do better but I instead I do it wrong or I don’t pass the test then that would count as a fail but it is called a fail because just because you didn’t get the grade you wanted doesn’t mean that your whole life is a failure. I don’t believe in failure mostly because I have never heard of a case where a person has failed so horribly that people end up getting hurt and the person is entirely responsible for the fail. Usually there is another person involved who causes the person to do things wrong.
            If I could define passing in my own words it would be by saying that you tried your very best and that you succeeded in doing something you may or may not have had complete faith on. When you pass something like a test you achieve more confidence in yourself because you believe feel as if you can take the test one hundred more time and still pass it. Even if you don’t feel like you did your very best, you still did a good enough job to get you into the passing level.
