1、《THE SIGNIFICANCE OF FAILURE》Robert H. Schuller

Failure doesn't mean you are a failure，

It does mean you haven't succeeded yet.

Failure doesn't mean you have accomplished nothing，

It does mean you have learned something.

Failure doesn't mean you have been a fool，

It does mean you had a lot of faith.

Failure doesn't mean you've been disgraced，

It does mean you were willing to try.

Failure doesn't mean you don't have it，

It does mean you have to do something in a different way.

Failure doesn't mean you are inferior，

It does mean you are not perfect.

Failure doesn't mean you've wasted your life，

It does mean you have a reason to start afresh.

Failure doesn't mean you should give up，

It does mean you must try harder.

Failure doesn't mean you'll never make it，

It does mean it will take a little longer.

Failure doesn't mean God has abandoned you，

It does mean God has a better idea.

This is a poem from Robert H. Schuller. It talks about the failure in human life. Everyone has failures in their life, because everyone wants to be succeeded must to experience the failure. I like the content of this poem. This is a special poem, because it doesn't include a lot of rhymes in this poem. If you look at each ending of the lines you will realize not all the words sounds the same. This poem works based on the meaning. So it is a free verse poem, and the author wants to show how to face or understand failures. In this poem every start part of the lines are similar. In my opinion I love this poem, because it meaning and special ways of writing. After I reading this poem, I think a lot of what author wants to tell us. It is about failure's meaning in our life. "Failure doesn't you have accomplished nothing, It does mean you have learned something." These are my favorite sentences in this poem. I understand this poem more deeply based on these sentences. I think the author wants to tell the readers failures always before succeeded. This is a interesting and inspirational poem. Also I think this poem can feet in everyone's life. Everyone might have different experience in their life and face on different ways of difficulties and failures. The author use this poem to show the readers the failures are not that bad or awful. Form this poem the author shows us a lot of deep meaning. This poem is perfect even it doesn't have rhythm.
