81、different attitudes towards failure.Faced with failure, some of us fall in low spirits. They usually lose heart and some even choose to give up. But most students take an active attitude. They encourage themselves to be self-confident.As a matter of fact, life is always full of failures. What matter
82、s is that we should take a positive attitude. Just as a saying goes, “Failure is the mother of success.” Even great men have failed many times before they succeed. What we should do is to find and analyze the causes of our failure so that we will no longer make similar mistakes. Therefore, when we run into failure, we should be confident and deal with it correctly.
