It is better to try and fail because this can help people gain experience. To live is to face trial and error. If people do not face any difficulty, they will remain unexperienced and childish. In spite of the fact the result can be wrong, the experience will always be effective.
Once there was a contest at school. This was about music.Students could take part in the contest and win a scholarship to enter an important music academy in the area. Marcia was one of the students interested in the music contest but she did not feel self-reliant. Her guitar was old and ,moreover, her father did not like her playing music. Her father wanted her to study law when she finished school. In spite of these difficulties, Marcia did her best to take part in the contest. She knew the other participants had better instruments and had their family's support. Marcia got the support from her mother and best friend, Alfonso. The day of the contest came; Marcia applied but she lost. She felt devastated after so much effort!!! Yet, she could appreciate the effective result of this experience some days later.
In spite of the fact Marcia lost the contest, she could learn from the situation. She could show her father what her real interest was and she had practiced so much for the contest that she could give some music tutorship to some younger kids. In this way, she could save some money and buy a newer guitar. She had become more self-reliant. If she had not tried and failed, she would have never gained that experience of seeing her own strenght.
