Certainly:
Person A tries to do something, fails, and in order to not fail again givesup.
Person B tries to do the same thing, fails, then tries again and fails, and tries again and fails, each time learning something more until on the 100th time they succeed.
Person A failed once, person B failed a hundred times, person B is better off for they have learned how to succeed rather than given up.
If you avoid doing something for fear of failure you're worse off than if you fail at it until you get it right.

- kiiski 15y agoPerson A plays a game of chess and loses. Then he wont try again, because "I'm not good at it". Person B plays a game of chess and loses. Then he loses again. And again. Then he wins. (Then he finds a stronger opponent and starts again.) Person A didn't gain anything, while person B found a new hobby that he enjoys spending his time with. Of course, this example only works if both were interested in chess and A really gave up, rather than just figuring out that chess isn't his thing.
