Because, for example from my own experience of failure. My history of setback in my professional career due to lack of passion allows me to analyze and improve my point of view to increase my achievements now. I realized from my own past, that my shortfall to finding what I really wanted before is due to repetitive work load and minimal self growth. After acknowledged that part of me on my own downfall, in the future I already plan my self improvement projects outside my job. And now, I even managed to make my life more meaningful and enjoyable.
As If I haven’t had the guts to really embraced what was the problems before, I wouldn’t have managed to become this succesfull in doing so. But, the key to keep things positive and contructive is to actively learning. Therefore, it is very important to be aware on what’s crucial rather than on something trivial.
