There have been some hits and some misses in his career, but Saqib Saleem has learnt to embrace failures. The actor says failure -- the first step towards success -- is the best teacher.

"Failure is the best teacher. It teaches you a lot in life and makes you who you are. It is a part of life. Yes, you feel bad when you fail but, I think I make sure I motivate myself even more and work harder to achieve my goal in life," Saqib told IANS over an email.
