In one way of thinking. failure is part of life. In  31 way, failure may be a way towards success. The “Spider-story” is often  32 .Robert Bruce , leader of the Scots in the 13 th century, was hiding in a cave from the English. He watched a spider  33 a web.

The third thing to keep in  44 about failure is that it's a part of life. Learn to “l(fā)ive with yourself" even though you may have  45
