Xiaoming participated in an important piano competition. He practiced hard for several months, but in the end only won third prize. After the competition, Xiaoming was very frustrated. He sat alone on a park bench, watching the falling leaves, his heart filled with disappointment. He began to comfort himself, telling himself: “Although the result of this competition is not ideal, I have already tried my best, and I have learned a lot from it, which is more important than winning.” He remembered what his teacher had once said, that failure is the mother of success. Every failure is a valuable experience. Xiaoming slowly calmed down, and he decided to continue practicing hard to achieve better results in the next competition. He believed that as long as he persisted, he would one day achieve his dreams.
