I like failure, and it informs my positive opinion about it.My recent understanding of it has made many persons ask, what do you mean by the good thing about failure? I remember my sister EBERE once made a comment, “How can failure connote anything good, it is by its very nature negative and so no one would like to identify with it”. Now, the mental shift of my perception about failure has triggered a lot of thoughts and of course received series of patronising criticism of which I am quite willing to contend. I have really wondered about this myself and it makes me laugh anytime I think of it. Obviously this sounds bizarre but not after I have thought of it over and over again so that anyone who thinks otherwise sounds bizarre instead. Don’t mind my intonation; this is not an encouragement for FAILURE but rather a discouragement TO BE FAILED
Before I proceed, I will like to illustrate what seems to be failure. There is an Idoma word “GWONU” which commonly translates to FALL. It also reminds me of the Igbo connotation of the same fall which is “ODIDA”.
