Tips on Finding Inspiration after Failure

The good thing about failure is that it is actually not the end.

Accept your weaknesses. Every human being has weaknesses. The first thing you need to do after failing is to accept that it has happened to you because failure happens to human beings. Accepting this helps you to accept that this is not a reflection of your life as a whole.

See the lesson. The biggest thing you can take from failure is the lesson it has taught you.If there are any weaknesses you need to address, you will only be able to see them after doing this soul searching. There are many lessons I would never have learned if I had not failed.

You will find inspiration if you accept that the pain you get from failure helps you to grow. There are certain things you will not understand until you have had a chance to live with them. For example, you would not know what it feels like to lose a job unless you had lost one before. That is the essence of life.

Failure should never be considered as something permanent. It should never be seen as the end, but rather the beginning of a new way of looking at life.

A. Pain helps you grow.

B. Accept that everyone fails.

C. It is just a temporary setback (挫折).

D. This gives you a chance to examine your life.

E. You can use the following tips to find inspiration after failure.

F. When you stop the blame game and take responsibility, you are growing.

G. We only learn the feeling of losing a loved one after we have lost a loved one.

When travelling in Australia, I kept a blog to record my experiences and what I (learn). Before the trip, I had read about some iconic sites, such as the Sydney Opera House and the Great Ocean Road and animals like the cute koalas and kangaroos. My first destination was Sydney, my friend brought me to my first open-air barbecue and shared so many different but yummy meals. Because of this, my first impressions of Australia (be) all about food. My second stop was Katherine, a town where we learnt about the life and customs of the native Australian, Aborigines. Their music, (show) the close contact nature, celebrates the natural world and the spiritual world around them. Among all their musical instruments, most of which are just sticks found on the ground, the didgeridoo is quite special. (make) from a hollow tree branch, you need to put your mouth on one end and blow vibrating your lips. A skilled player can play for a long time without stopping (breathe).

After being here for a while, my (big) impression is the complicated mix of  (people) and cultures that make up the nation. As far as I am concerned, what I like most about Australia is the people themselves for their straightforward and free-and-easy attitude to life as well as their friendliness and warmth.

After experiencing Australia, I had to admit I agree with the tourism slogan: "There is nothing like Australia."
