John had always been a high achiever, but his latest project failed miserably.

约翰一直是一个高成就者，但他最近的项目惨遭失败。

For weeks, he was frustrated and ashamed, wondering how he could have made such mistakes.

几周来，他感到沮丧和羞愧，想知道自己怎么会犯这么多错误。

One evening, his father sat him down and said, "Failure is not the end, but a lesson on how to improve."

一天晚上，他的父亲让他坐下来，说：“失败不是终结，而是一个如何改进的教训。”

John was skeptical at first, but as he reflected on his mistakes, he realized that he could learn from them.

刚开始约翰对此持怀疑态度，但当他反思自己的错误时，他意识到自己可以从中学习。

He decided to try again, this time with a better plan and more preparation.

他决定重新尝试，这一次他有了更好的计划和更多的准备。

The second attempt was successful, and John learned that failure was only a step toward improvement, not the end of the journey.

第二次尝试成功了，约翰明白了失败只是通往进步的一个步骤，而不是旅程的终点。

Philosophy: "Failure is not the opposite of success; it is part of the journey."

哲理: “失败不是成功的对立面，它是旅程的一部分。”
