What is the overall message?

 Failure is usually seen as something negative something to avoid at all costs. But in Fail Again, Fail Better,Failure in the Creative Process and Go Hitler, failure is presented as a necessary part of growth. While Sarah explores failure in the creative process, Trevor demonstrates how misunderstandings and mistakes can lead to awareness. Both stories resemble that failure is not something that we can skip, it’s an essential part of learning, growing and progressing, 

Sarah wrote an essay about how making mistakes is important when you are creating something that requires creativity. She talks about a phrase: "You try, you fail, and that's okay. Just keep trying and you will get better." This means that when we mess up, it's not a bad thing it's a chance to learn and grow. Sarah believes that being creative isn't just about getting everything perfect right away but about trying over and over and being open to new ideas. When someone make mistakes, this help them to find new solutions or ways to solve or improve what they are making or doing, So, instead of fearing failing, it can help us do better.

On the other hand, the story “Go Hitler, talks about how people can misunderstand each other. When Trevor was a kid, he had a friend named Hitler who was doing a dance presentation in Jewish school. For the people in South Africa, the name “Hitler” didn't mean much, but for some Jewish students, it was shocking. This situation makes an awkward moment because they didn't understand each other's backgrounds. Trevor uses this moment to show us that when we don’t understand each other, people see things different, and this teaches us important lessons. It reminds us that something that feels normal to one person, can be the completely opposite to someone else, and by learning from these moments, we can make better connection with each other. 

Even though both authors talk about different things, they both share a message: failing not the end of something; it’s a start for something new. Sarah explains that by making mistakes you can came up with new ideas, and Trevor shows how by social experiences and mistakes can help us understand other cultures better. Instead of being afraid of failure, both authors say we should see it as a chance to learn. Whether it’s, writing, or presentations, or life in general, when things don’t go as we planted, we must have critical thinking, change what we’re doing, and practice, and knowing what we did wrong to not make it again.

In a world success is the most important thing in your life, it's nice see that not all people think the same. A lot of people fear failing because they think they aren't good enough. These authors show us that failing is an important part of us.  When we mess up, it helps change our mind, change our approach, and have different ideas, new ideas, learn new things that winning cannot teach us. When we are creative, making mistakes, when we don’t understand something, it can reshape completely what we are trying to reach it can help us learn even more. Changing you mind and looking at failure with different eyes, we can thing about different and new ideas. 

At the end of the day, both "Fail Again, Fail Better" and "Go Hitler" teaches us that making mistakes is a good thing. When we try to be creative or just by simply living our daily lives, failing can teach us important lessons that winning can't. Instead of feeling defeated when thing don’t go well, we should look at our mistakes as chances to learn and see thing different and both author remark this showing us from personal experiences. Failing better helps us not just make better art but also become kinder and smarter in everything we do.
