False: Constant failing shows that you are not learning from the previous mistake.

 

But then .. He that has never failed has never tried.

Every lesson of life like failures comes with a gift of wisdom, the more problem you can solve the stronger you become. We are not born successful, it’s not trait you inherit, to succeed in life, one must have the courage, determination and strength to overcome all obstacles put in their path on the road to success.

While I would love to say that I have never failed, I can't. However, I can say that my failures are due to my own actions as well as inactions. Poor planning is a precursor to failure. As an example. There is a saying. "Practice makes perfect." However, if I practice incorrectly over and over, I have failed to successfully complete the task. It is perfect practice that makes perfect. Planning is the key, and is done through attention to detail, planning your actions, and executing at the appropriate moment. We can learn from everything, successes and failures alike, but true success is to learn how not to fail. So I’m going with False.

This may very well be true. However, constant failure can be disheartening. That is why we can also learn from the mistakes (and successes) of others. Watch, listen (and read and research) and learn.

Not necessarily. There are many ways of learning and certainly learning from mistakes is the smallest source of learning for successfull people.

You should always learn from your mistakes,  understand why and move on. Constant failure on the other hand would suggest you may have took the wrong career path and what is expected of you is outwith your capabilities.

To cetrian extent yes but everytime you fall or have failure you have mistake so if you dont learn from mistakes you tend to fall again and again and then growth is only from the failure to next level but if you learn faster you can be climb steps faster and faster.

Not true - Failure is not the ONLY way to learn. Of course you learn from your failures. You also learn a lot more from your successes.
