“Failure is the mother of success” can be expressed in English in several idiomatic ways. Here are three common and natural expressions along with practical example sentences:

1. “Failure is the stepping stone to success.”

– Example: “Even though I failed my first business venture, it was a valuable lesson, and now I’m more determined than ever to succeed. After all, failure is the stepping stone to success.”

2. “Success is often born from the ruins of failure.”

– Example: “Her latest novel was a critical success, but it was only after several rejections and countless revisions that she realized success is often born from the ruins of failure.”

3. “The road to success is paved with failures.”

– Example: “He had to overcome numerous setbacks in his career, but as he often reminds us, the road to success is paved with failures, and he’s grateful for each one that has brought him closer to his goals.”

These expressions not only convey the same meaning as the original Chinese phrase but also sound natural and fluent in English.
