    Is Failure a Bad thing?

    Failure occurs often. When we do anything, we often run into failure. The ancients said, however, ” Failure is the mother of success," so maybe failure is a good thing.
    People have different thoughts about failure. For example, some people, when they do anything and run into failure, they can accept failure and learn from their experience. In the end, they succeed. Other people people, when they do anything and run into failure, they can’t accept their failure or learn from it. They choose to give up. In the end the fail.
    I think failure can be accepted. Failure is the mother of success. So I can study <em>good</em> failiure experiences and through them, acquire success. Failure isn’t a bad thing. It’s a good thing.

    Reading this I realise that the author just must be Japanese and yes, looking at the picture, a Japanese lady.

    Lie (down) is also what people do on a bed and lay is its past tense. When I am tired I lie (down) on my bed, and I lay (down) on my bed yesterday because I was tired. "Lying (down)" refers to the state, and lie (down) refers to the action. Perhaps the "down" is included to avoid confusion with "lie" as in to say an untruth.
