It is true that some failure for some people at certain times in their lives does motivate them to strive even harder so as to achieve final success.For example, Thomas Edison, the famous American inventor, had tried hundreds of materials before he finally found the suitable fuse for the electric bulb.However, unfortunately, for most people failure is the end of their struggle.
Therefore, in my opinion, success is one thing and fame is another. As long as you have tried your best, you’re already successful whether you are famous or not.
