a negative connotation by associating it with effort, we should understand it as part of the process. In Europe, failing several times seems to be a burden and everyone wants to hide it.

There are many excellent CEOs who talk with pride about all their failures and how they managed to overcome the obstacles until they reached their desired job position.

I wish, in the future, people would be more open to failing and admire those who fail and keep trying.
