Hare and tortoise, the world famous race. Everyone appreciates how tortoise wins over the speedster. I do, too. But I always think that it is unfair with the rabbit. I agree that he got ego and overconfidence, and all stuff, but don't we all posses that up to certain extent. And even if it losses one race, that doesn't mean a total failure. The Hare will eventually beat the tortoise, I can bet over that.
So if losing a race isn't failure, then we should define failure. I believe that every human being is gifted with a special skill set. It is up to that person, to identify and develop. For me, failure is to not understand your gifts. Failure is to waste your precious time in doing things you are not good at. Failure is to not accept that you have made a mistake.
So are failures necessary? Not at all. Mistakes should not be confused with failures. Scoring bad in a exam is a mistake, while not taking it seriously is a failure. I know that most of the times we know that we are failing, be it a relationship, a job or a habit. But we keep hoping that it would get better if we hang in there for a while. Trust me, it never does. Do mistakes, but never fail.
