Model Answer:
Life is a battlefield and we are the soldiers in this field. Sometimes we win, and at times we are to fail. The failure provides us encouragement to be successful in the next round.

To win something, you are to be a loser at first and it is imperative not to take the failure as a negative experience. It is considered as the pillar of success. There are a large number of people who have failed several times in the beginning of their life and now they are at the peak of success. They did not give up hope or lost motivations. They tried continuously and finally succeeded to reach the goal.

Usually, people are afraid of the thought that they will be unable to be successful as they have failed in their first attempt. So, they give up performing the job or do not try hard or sometimes lose inspiration over the issue. They take the failure as a negative thing and it happens as most of the people do not know that they sometimes might fail in any task in order to win that perfectly. When people turn loser over any issue, it actually helps them to lose their fear too. Most of the people are afraid of doing any specific thing being occupied with fear and the fears are of different kinds. When they gradually start failing, the fear becomes vanish and they win finally.

Besides, losing in any job helps improving creativity. When a man turns loser, he tries to discover some other ways to execute the job and by this way the creativity exercise begins. They try to get a perfect way and accordingly invent many other similar methods to complete the job. Although all the ways are not equally helpful to accomplish the job, some of them turn the most efficient one and it happens only for their creativity.

Moreover, when someone loses, s/ he learn a very important lesson over the issue. When the issue comes before them once again, they do not commit the same mistake twice and become successful in doing so. But they lost at the first time and that does not mean that they are losers.

To take an example, we can cite many celebrities and famous people who have failed for several times and continued the failure attempts until they succeeded. Walt Disney, J. K. Rowling, Steven Spielberg, Steve Jobs, Oprah Winfrey, Thomas Edison, Bill Gates, Albert Einstein, Abraham Lincoln, Henry Ford, Winston Churchill, Charlie Chaplin, Emily Dickinson, Elvis Presley and many other renowned people have failed in their first attempts. But they are respectfully remembered in the current days as they did not give up hope and continued their efforts unless they achieved the success.

So, if you fail in the beginning, please do not give up hope or stop your endeavors. Miracles happen every day and it may also happen for you too. You are unable to do something today, but if you continue exercising that, someday you will be the master of your specific arena.
