I want to try something new with the pinned cast in /success: encouraging more long form discussion. Read the question below and answer thoughtfully. Let’s spark some real conversations here! There has been a lot of FUD recently about past failure and what that means for future success. With this in mind—what is the most important failure you’ve experienced in life and how did it shape the person you are today? For me, it was losing everything to drug addiction and the criminal justice system. My career, my health, my youth. But through that struggle, I learned to be a much stronger person—much more capable to take on the challenges of life. I wouldn’t change anything as all of it helped shape the person I am today. What about you?

One of my biggest failures was a crazy car accident i was in where I almost lost my life, I was in my late teen years and I was driving recklessly on icy roads. I drive extremely safe and with caution now because I don't think I should have survived that incident.. there's some reason why I am still here, I'm determined to find my purpose every day and am thankful for that second chance.

I was an actor for 10 years, and I realized I had failed, and I quit. But with the experience of being an actor, Even when I step up or speak in public, the tremor is smaller than others. I don't think there's anything in the world that doesn't help. Oh, of course, it hurts to give up my long dream.

I used to only be comfortable speaking my native language, and English felt discouraging. I would stay quiet, even when someone hurt me, because reporting it meant speaking English. Instead, I focused on my academics. Now, I’m much better at English and still learning

I don't know but right now, I embodied myself as a living failure. I don't have a sense of anything that is for the future, I'm still young, underappreciated, and still floating around. I suffer from depression at a young age. The one thing I think I'm doing great at is surviving everyday and choosing not to kms. It's a hard battle but I'll survive just for now.

there’s so many moments in my life that I can point to and say that this moment shaped me, but I’ll start with this one. I moved to Hollywood with my band in an effort to get a record deal and have some fun. we made some good music but the band imploded before that happened. At this crossroads everyone went their own way. I felt that my story wasn’t over yet, so I decided to stay in ca to see where life took me. I got a job at a computer reseller shortly after this. a few years later I got a job offer in another state and the person who took me back to my interview became my future wife…

In my opinion past failure or unfortune events can shape you to be much stronger and give you the motivation to show everyone and especially yourself what you are capable of. My approach to life is a strong internal conviction that things will always work out well for me - I never doubt for one second and it has been working out more than fine so far.

1/2 My greatest failure was when I left my job as a mental health nurse. I was forced to work in a prison, and I struggled a lot with that. In an attempt to try something new, I took a job selling cheese. It was quite an interesting job, and I really enjoyed it, especially working with my mother-in-law. However, I lost myself a bit in that role. I was working six days a week, and sometimes even on the seventh day, I wasn't around because I had to spend the whole day shopping. I worked every weekend, which meant I rarely saw my partner. Although I was earning more money, in reality, I was working twice as much as before. I spent my Christmas and New Year’s holidays working, racking up over 100 hours a week during those times. This went on for more than three years, during which I only had seven weeks of vacation and very little rest.

I used to be a failure when I was addicted to drugs, I was addicted to drugs for 13 years, so that in the end one by one my friends died and I realized that my life was still useful so I stopped and I changed to be better now.

I am proud to be a recovering addict. I'll share the beginnings of my story.. Played football in high-school, 'merican. In my JV season 15yo, I dislocated my shoulder 7 times and the first thing they did was throw vicodin at my situation. Unfortunately my shoulder was too far gone and I was forced to sit the rest of the season out with the possibility of never being able to play again. This was at the very same time I shifted my lifestyle and moved to my Moms' home - who has the philosophy "as long as it's under my roof where u can be safe...feel free." I try not to blame anyone but myself, but this lifestyle switch was def the beginning of my long road to eventually bootin' dogfood.. iykyk So with the pain of football injuries, and a "safe zone" to party away the rest of my teens and into my mid-twenties...ya boy experimented wif everything under the Sun. Litterally. This was the beginning of my biggest failure, I knew better than to do drugs, I chose to not listen to instinct.

I’m a Gen X’er and have had many important failures. One of my earliest was when I was 12 yrs old. I was running blindly through the forest in the backyard of my friend’s house with the kind of abandon that only a kid can have and I ran face-first into rusty barbed wire. It cut an impressive gash across my cheek and I was literally 1/4” away from losing one of my eyes. It was a formative experience. Ever since, I don’t run into unknown situations without doing some research first. I can still be spontaneous, but it’s made me less reckless and more reflective before making rash decisions.

Mine is very similar to yours, it’s not something I like to talk about but totally agree I wouldn’t be where I am today without that experience. Crazy what we can get through.

I don't know if I should call it failure or regret, but the fact that we tried so hard to save a bankrupt business (unknowingly) that we took over without my initiative and lost everything.sometimes it is necessary to accept defeat and withdraw.this way we could have survived with less damage.this was my life lesson😔

The bad environment in my home meant that instead of studying, I spent my time on the streets. But over time I was forming as a person and although perhaps too late, I paid for my career on my own, without anyone's help, and I formed myself as an artist. I don't owe my “success” to anyone, only to myself and I am proud of it 🤍

august 30th 2023, i was a victim of a social engineering hack and lost a huge amount of money (1500$) i loaned to trade and use protocols october to december, i took cybersecurity courses which i eventually dropped out from after gaining enough knowledge to protect myself against hacker and hackers. fast forward to joining farcaster in mid-march, by providing value through content creation on here, i met a family of builders and i got inspired to be among the next set of people who change the creator economy. fast forward to may, i paid the loan debt of the hack and since then i’ve been happy to come on here, vibe, give insights and create memes, graphics while also supporting fellow creators and builders. that’s all that gives me joy these days. this is my success story

After my dad passed away my mom was concerned she couldn’t pay for their mortgage. I was in college at the time and I decided to research the heck out of how to make money online to help her out. Long story short, I joined an mlm, lost a shit ton of money, almost got booted from my apartment, and almost failed a hiking/jogging class I spent countless 48 hour binges with no sleep This taught me how hard it is to actually get something of substance going in business and there’s more to it than just putting yourself out there I’ve made some decent money with side hustles since then but they were all short lived because I was working full time and didn’t have the time to dedicate to them
