Good Day!!!

Learning can be done from failures as well as from success..... intelligent people also learn from others mistakes..........

I cant say which category gives you more learning........... but if you doing so many mistakes that results into a failure, it will not give you as many learning......

ART IS TO LEARN NOT TO REPEAT SAME MISTAKE AGAIN. QUESTIONING IS THE BEST SKILL TO IMPROVE LEARNING.

Yes Zafar, ratherly I would say that the learnings are from failures instead of success.

Why failuers are beneficial to a positive person? The answer is simple that failures are just the wrong ways indentified for doing business and which should not be followed.

Yes sir. Failures are stepping stones to success. Education teaches the basics, but person gains experience and become more matured in his/her area of expertise by learning from failures/mistakes at each stage of his career....

100% true,,, failure teaches you more than success does,,, because you will not repreat the failure attempts you made previously,,, you will look for an other way,,, looking for new ways is called,,, quest for innovation,,,,

As important as how to do things , It is also important to know how not to do . Adding a little bit to the questions , Learning not only  from our failures ,but also from others is vital . Our lifetime would not be sufficient to make all the mistakes and hence its vital we learn from others too . In business we call them as case studies which could have been either success or failure , the most important why this is done is to learn the lesson from it.

Dear Mr.Zaffar

I believe mistakes done in the past make you aware and you prepare well while attempting to do the same thing in future hence  you are cautious and attempt to do better and you end up doing best at times.

No doubt your Success has come as a result of your efforts and planning but I have seen success makes you little complacent.

failure itself is the way to all kind of success

Every bad experience in any field gives  us so strong push to the real success in future

Chances of detailed analysis of our business or project are more in case of failure than in success. i ll focus on how to increase sales and exploring new markets in case of success.  So failure gives us idea what , why , how  went wrong and what, why  and how things needs to be improved or revised.
