There are a lot of lessons to be taken away: Resilience and Belief in yourself are really the biggest things. It is never giving up, no matter how hard it gets. No matter how many times you fail, there is a lesson to be learned about you. That makes you a stronger person on the other side of this failure if you want to call it a failure. You need to fail in order to succeed.
