Turning Setbacks into Stepping Stones | Izma Sajith | TEDxYouth@DPSD

Core Argument - Failure is not the opposite of success, but a crucial component of growth and learning [1] - Failure provides feedback and lessons that success often obscures, fostering emotional and intellectual development [4][5] - Embracing failure as a learning opportunity can lead to personal growth and the achievement of goals [3][4] The "Three Fs" Philosophy - Failure: Accept failure as an unexpected friend that teaches valuable lessons [7] - Feedback: Recognize that every failure provides feedback that aids in growth and learning [8] - Forward: Maintain a positive outlook and move forward, viewing failures as stepping stones [8] Examples and Scientific Support - Historical figures like Albert Einstein and Walt Disney faced failures before achieving success [7] - Scientific studies suggest that failure activates the brain's learning center more effectively than success [6]
