The following article was written by one of the learners at one of the campuses where I work. He is a part of our newspaper staff and he wrote this article to motivate his fellow learners! This article will be featured in our next issue of the SedCol News! Enjoy

Failure is the best way for us to learn and become a great success. Yep I said ti! If you choose, failure can be an asset in your life. It took THomas Edison 6000 attempts to successfully create the light bulb we enjoy today. When a journalist asked him why he hadn't given up as he had failed, he said: "I haven't failed but I discovered 6000 ways of not making a light bulb!" How incredible that Edison reframed 'Failure' and made it an asset to great success.
The reason why I write this article is to shift the perception that failure is bad and that failure should be feared.
In December, you may have read in the news that certain Grade 12 learners had failed their matric and committed suicide. In July you may have noticed the number of Sedibeng College students dropping out because they had failed their June Final exam. Failure can be a wake-up call to a person; it makes one hunger to win! Failure can become a great teacher for you to become a success. Make it your friend and your life will be an exciting journey.
Recently, I went to KFC to enjoy a great meal and some hot wings. What most people do not know is that when Colonel sanders, the man who began it all, was looking for funds to create Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) he failed to get funds 1009 times! Most of us would have given up way sooner! But because the man believed in his desire and dream, he never saw rejection as a failure but as a way to learn. His failure became a success. Today, there are around 15,000 KFC franchises in 150 countries and the company makes millions of dollars in turnover, if not more.
Maybe you have failed a couple of times achieving your dream, but you need to understand that failure is a great guide towards your success. Persist in your dreams, no matter what stumbling blocks you meet.
