LGBT: What do you believe the importance of failure is?

Experience. If everything goes smoothly, there will be no reason for you to learn, thus you won't grow as a person.

Not my words, but I like these anyway:

“If you have made mistakes, there is always another chance for you. You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call ‘failure’ is not the falling down but the staying down.” – Mary Pickford

"Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor." - Truman Capote

There is no failure except in no longer trying." - Elbert Hubbard

"Failure? I never encountered it. All I ever met were temporary setbacks." - Dottie Walters

"Failure is an attitude, not an outcome." - Harvey Mackay

"If you want to increase your success rate, double your failure rate." - Thomas Watson, Sr Founder of IBM

"You always pass failure on the way to success." - Mickey Rooney

"One slip does not make a person forever a failure, any more than one good turn makes a person forever a saint." – Unknown

Tells you where you went wrong and shows you how to avoid that certain decision the next time.

Personally, I used to cut myself. Now I go on with the rest of my life knowing that, if I could change harming myself, I would. I now know to take out my emotions in a different way.
