When I was younger, not so good. Too much drama! But now I am more mature, life has taught me some lessons, I prioritise misfortunes and I do not let myself drown in pessimism. I believe that a strong personality can be seen in the bad situation in life and how he/she handles them. Percistence, power, humour can be the pillars of one's character than can save him/her and deal with the various situations in life.

Depends on the cause of failure. But Ultimately with the determination to never allow it to repeat, learn from the experience and looking ahead to the future with a positive attitude.

Some of the best lessons we ever learn, we learn from our mistakes and failures. The error of the past is the wisdom of the future.

you handle it with pride because you learned what you did wrong and you learned what not to do and what to do next time.. don't put yourselff down, just stay positive and alert, and you will do better again the second time.. something good always comes out when you fail. when you fail, don't fail (or don't give up) on yourself or else you wont gwet aywhere in life

Learn to accept your failure and have a visual analyzation of what's going on and how it happen.  From then, stand up and have a brand new start.  Remember that success won't be success if you never experience failure. keep going...keep on trying and never give up.  Let failure be your stepping stone to a new opportunity.  Trust your ability and determination and sooner, a fruitful success will be yours.

Logically: understand what variables went wrong so that I don't repeat them.

Emotionally:  it's the kind of situation that makes me go back into giving my110% to the next project.

 

Failure is not an outcome, rather involves lack of trying- usually due to not stretching yourself far enough from your comfort zone and attempting to be more than you were the day before.

I allow myself a limited time to grieve and feel sad, then look at the situation with fresh eyes, so I can let the failure be a tool for learning and new opportunities.
