Personally, I don't think failure is meant to be celebrated.
Instead of wasting your time celebrating your failure, use that time and find out why you failed in the first place and then devise means that will prevent future failures.
I have failed many times in my life but whenever I fail at something I don't celebrate it instead i learn lessons from my previous failures and use them to try that particular thing I failed and trust me I always succeed the second time.
Always learn lessons from your failures( this is very important),So get up and try again.

Firstly I congratulate the winners...
How do you celebrate your failure?... Oh I just realized I should be asking myself that question, okay.. to start with, let's define failure. Failure in a nut shell means absence of success.
I guess each an everyone of us has in one way or the other experience this failure.
How do I celebrate failure? I guess you are curiosly waiting for that, now let me satisfy your curiosity...
Celebrating failure doesn't mean I love to fail or probably I enjoy failure NO, it equally gives me the same heartbreak and sadness you go through too, why? Because not only am i a human but I also love success too, so why do I enjoy to celebrate failure? It's simple, because it Makes me take responsibility instead of pointing accusing finger on someone else, thereby helping me focus on the lessons I learned from the failure.
In conclusion, taking failure as part of success is the idea, why? Because you can't succeed without failing,, yes you heard me right.. #cotw

How do we celebrate failures
Now this is a trick question because nobody ever wants to celebrate failure. When people fail,tears roll, anger comes, hatred comes and sometimes they just give up but how about we look at it from another dimension.
I've learnt to always see things from different angles and perspectives.
How I celebrate my failures? At first, I see the failure like every other person does. I see it as a very bad and heartbreaking thing. It saddens me but then I take a break and look at it from another angle and I see it as another chance.
Failure is supposed to make you try again and while trying again, you would avoid the things that made you fail at first, that's worth celebrating.
You celebrate your second chance, your new beginning, the knowledge you gained the first time and also you celebrate the fact that you survived the task and you live to tell the story.
Failures are blessings in disguise and they are worth celebrating. One can never tell what life holds in store for you, just try again and stop dwelling in the fact that you failed the first time.
Live life to the fullest.

How do I celebrate my failures?
Honestly this is a teaser!
My Failures are part of my success stories. I believe that achieving success is a journey started on failures, but what do I do when I fail?
I embrace it as a mistake, a new dawn, lesson, experience, blessing in disguise; yes.
Nobody will ever be happy to fail and as for celebrating it, people do that in different ways even without knowing it.
For instance someone fails in achieving a particular goal and then boom!!! He chooses to find solace in drinking alcohol and wasting away or giving up on his life because what he was expecting didn't work out his way.
One thing we need to understand is that we can't win in all cases, open your mind to welcome failures atimes, expect failures so it won't overwhelm you when it strucks.
How do I celebrate my failures? Well I don't rejoice when I fail, rather I embrace it knowing fully well that there is a light at the end of every tunnel, I sit myself down to retrace my steps, admit my mistakes and try to extract lessons from it, take better decisions, pray to God for wisdom and directions, then I try again; now from a different angle and perspective with different method.
It is always good to try again when we fail, don't give up or fall into depression because when one door closes it gives room for a better one to open!
I would advice people not to dwell so much in their past mistakes/failures, it doesn't take us anywhere, forget it and move on because God has a better plan for you ahead.

Being grateful all the time shows you are happy with what you had, and will brings us to the subject _contentment", never will I get sad if I am not choosing in a particular event or occasion because, what doesn't kill you would rather Makes you stronger, Failure to me is also a kind of success because you put in your best and you also get the answer, now, think of it this way!
You got what you put in, if you were not chosen, making you the winner, that means you still need to put more efforts and that is also a success, as it would open your eyes and make you see the possible solutions and Steps to adopt in making your way to the top.
So, never will I get angry if I am not chosen, therefore, failure is highly celebrated by me as such celebration will serve as a challenge to me.
