People usually see the word "failure" as the antonym to "success", at least grammar and dictionary sense says so.
Many of us buy this in an unconscious way, when we fail at something we get discouraged, unhappy, torn up inside, we even tend to give up the thing we were fighting for because we think that it's over! Remember that never giving up it's a common quality of successful people.
This might confuse you because you consider you've reached failure so, the antonym success it's on the opposite side. But, that could be wrong, and most of the times is. Never giving up it's a common quality of successful people.
If you fail at something you get more experience at that something, and next time around you can be wiser about it, and maybe you can reach success by doing things in a better way then your previous failed attempts.
You can actually achieve success through failure! That's why people advise you to fail your way to success (like the picture on the top).
