‘Failure is proof that the desire wasn’t strong enough’ To what extent do you agree with this statement? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

People usually use the saying 'Failure is the mother of

success

' to encourage others to get used to their hardships since they will be successful sooner or later as long as they have passion. But I have a different point of view. Despite the fact that a burning desire is essential to

success

, other factors,

for instance

, a correct method, should

also

be taken into account. An unstopping passion is certainly needed for breakthroughs, especially in science. The inventor of light bulbs, Thomas Edison, made thousands of attempts to find the best material for the filament. Nobel did quite a few trials on discovering new types of dynamite. Both of these two scientists'

success

after a tremendous amount of effort and it is

also

evident to see that desire plays a significant role.

However

, what people usually ignore is that they are already well-trained researchers when they are doing research aiming for a new invention. Only if you are a scientist with proper training can you do studies in an organized and efficient way.

This

then

brings a clear connection between methodology and

success

. An ancient story in China

also

manifests its importance. A man who wished to go to country Chu travelled in an opposite direction,

then

how can he achieve

this

even though he is able to pay for all of his road fees and has good horses as the transportation tool? From all the

reasoning

reasons

above, we can see an

incompleteness

incomplete

in the statement. A full passion without a correct mean to tackle the problem would be almost equal to failure.

Nevertheless

, only having the knowledge but refusing to put any of it into real practice due to a lack of desire would surely mean nothing.
