US tennis great Serena Williams wants people to stop being afraid of failures and believes the most valuable life lessons come from losing.


Speaking during an appearance on Red Table Talk along with sister Venus, Serena, 40, said: “I’m my best player every time I lose. I think sometimes people are afraid to lose if they start winning, or they’re afraid to fail. But that doesn’t, I don’t even like the word. Like, it’s not a failure. it’s just, like, you slipped, and then you’ll get back up.”


Meanwhile, Venus, who is a seven-time Grand Slam winner, explained: “Because even when you look back in those 10 years, even if you fail, if you just gave it your all with what you had that day, that’s still perfectly fine. And I think a lot of it, too, is just taking out whatever the hell other people think. When you let go of that, you are free.”
