Interviewer : How do you handle failure? Interviewee : ____ The best answer the interviewee can give is …

If we don't ever fail, we aren't trying new things, using our imaginations. I admit failure feels disappointing but it's usually a good teacher.

I have always lived by the maxim that nobody is perfect, so I am relatively comfortable taking responsibility for my shortcomings. So, when I fail, I just think it’s human. 

I just remember that success without a few rounds of failure probably means I am not being ambitious enough. I also consider what great stories I'll have with all my moments of 'temporary' defeat. 

I have always believed that no one is perfect, so I accept that I have failed in some instances. My goal is to devise ways in which I could prevent a similar occurrence in the days to come. I listen to my fellow colleagues at my company for what they have to say about my work performance and advice on how to better myself. 

Failure is success turn inside out and the best way to handle it is to appraise and review what I didn't do right and learn from it to improve and above all take responsibility for the act. To me, ff you are not failing (occasionally) you are not trying hard enough. What's important is to actually learn from the failure and get better at things.
