Freedom To Fail

I believe in the freedom to fail. I believe this because without failure, there would be no success. Without success, there would be no way to move forward; to create something new and unique.
In our schools today, people do not have the freedom to fail. Many are moved up grades, just to move them up. Not because they have done the work or learned anything. In the long run, that is not a smart thing to do. It makes them think they are succeeding. When in a way they are failing without knowing it. But this kind of failure is not the kind they need. They deserve to be challenged, and to be offered the freedom to fail. To try and fail, and try again in hopes that maybe this time they will succeed. By having the freedom to fail it gives them the hope and the drive to keep trying. If they are not given that decision, but instead just moved up year after year, it is no longer challenging. And when they get to the real world, they will discover that they don’t know anything. Failure had been chosen for them.
I like having the freedom to fail. It makes me happier knowing I had to work hard to get what I received; be it a good grade, job, or any other thing I worked at in my life. I have seen others around me though, that were not given the freedom to fail. They were instead sheltered; or were brought up expecting to just cruise through life. Does that bring them satisfaction to not have any drive or passion in their life? I don’t think it does. I often find that the hard working people who had the freedom to fail are happier knowing that they earned what they have in life.
