The term apparently learn from failure is not just a term only, since it is experienced by your brain when experiencing failure. Centers in the brain will be trained each time you experience a failure so it can improve brain performance.
When someone fails to carry out a particular task, he will enter a more focused mental state in order to find out his mistake. The brain will correct the error on the next occasion. With the failure of the brain is able to learn and 'grow'.
"People who keep their mindset and rarely feel the bitterness of failure, never entered the process to focus on their own learning and experience progress," says Antoine Bechara, an associate professor of psychology and neuroscience at the University of Southern California, who led the study, such as quoted in Reader's Digest, on Tuesday (11/12/2012).
According to Bechara, it relates to the two centers of the prefrontal cortex in the brain of the same size. Two brain centers is considered responsible for the fear of failure and the other is responsible for the lure of success.
Both centers are always having debates between risk and reward that will happen to every step you take. But despite the opposite function, the two centers would interact during the decision making process.
So that if one fails, the center of the brain responsible for fear of failure would be stimulated to repair themselves, so the center of the brain will learn to improve quality. Center of the brain responsible for the sense of satisfaction because of the success also trained.
If a person's mindset is always flat, the two brain centers are well trained and will not grow. Though still more research is needed to examine the brain centers, but so far it's pretty obvious why failure is good for you.
