The Importance of Failing in the Pursuit of Success: Lessons from Engineering

Failure is an inevitable part of the journey to success. In engineering, perhaps more than in any other field, failure is not just an option; it’s a necessity. The very nature of engineering—problem-solving, innovation, and improvement—demands a willingness to fail. Engineers experiment, test, and refine their ideas, often encountering numerous failures before achieving a successful solution. This iterative process of trial and error is an integral part of advancing technology and improving our world.
