Failure And How After Failure

The short story, The Right to Fail by William Zinsser, explains how it is acceptable to fail and learn from one's mistakes and to not go down the path society has made socially acceptable. Zinner has a positive outlook on the concept of failing, he explains, “Success can be dangerous- you feel you know it all. I’ve learned a  great deal from my failures.” As life goes on, everyone may not succeed the same way or even succeed at everything they attempt to do, but it is important to learn from mistakes and continue moving forward and to find the path that works for you. Trying new things and failing or succeeding can open new doors to something better.

I worked just as hard, yet my test results were notably underwhelming in comparison to my ‘top 10’ classmates. What was different about me, I thought every night before I fell asleep. Then I realized, I was alone in my cherishment of extracurricular activities. While my classmates were up late Friday nights studying, I was cheering on the sidelines, exerting myself to pep up the crowd via backflips. When others were reading ahead, I was helping to feed outlying communities. While the ‘top 10’ was still cramming, I was at a Wednesday worship program. I’m committed to giving my complete impetus to everything I take part in, and sometimes, your best isn’t enough for what you want and there is almost nothing you can do about it. This taught me that in order to be truly fulfilled, you need to accept failure as part of your life and learn to move on. Thinking about it, I would not be happier if I quit doing the things I love to study more so that I could be in the ‘top 10’. In fact, I would most definitely be more miserable. Learning to accept failure, I have decided to cultivate my energy into simply giving my all and to welcome whatever rank, or not, I receive with open

Having thoroughly thought out my career choice, my assessment also shows this. I am getting my degree in computer support. In the assessment, my top results

“It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.”

“Try not. Do or do not, there is no try.” said by Yoda from Star Wars. This is a quote that many people have lived by. It means that there is no such thing as “trying”, you either do something or you don't.

This quote means that even when you try agin it still may fail, but through failing you become better. A time I have failed, but have failed better was when I was trying to read a book,but I would have to start over because I would not read it for a few days, and forget what would happen in the first half of the book. Now I read when I have down time, but sometimes I

Firstly, educational institutions should allow the students to dog any field of study based on their interest even if it precludes the students. By facing difficulties are the only way to pass difficulties in life for instant consider Michael Jordon indisputable king of basketball. He was cut from high school basketball team because he was abysmal in basketball. But by facing many failures, difficulties and overcoming it. He has become eminent in basketball sport. He is a role model for many young generation basketball

A time that I have experienced failure was March 2014. I competed in my first Skills USA competition for esthetics. Although it was only for states, it was nerve racking. It was the first year that I truly got serious with esthetics. I enjoyed esthetics and practiced it often but never to this level. It was also my first year in cosmetology. For the competition I had to perform a day appropriate makeup look, a nighttime appropriate makeup look, and then a fantasy look. Fantasy has a set theme and this year’s theme was avatar. It was a challenging theme because you could only do so much. It was hard to find something original and creative. I knew I did not want to paint a blue face. I chose to do a scene from the movie. Since it was my first

All too often we let life’s failures control us. It starts in childhood, and in my experience, people have two general responses to failure: 1. Give in and accept that you are “a failure”, or 2. Work harder to prove (if not only to yourself) that you are NOT a failure. The problem with these human reactions is that both of them can be dangerous to us in the long run. An example of the first response is a young girl who tries out for the cheerleading squad; she is nervous, and does not do well. Instead of trying again, she listens to the harsh criticisms of the other girls, and the critiques that were given by the judges, and she decides that cheerleading is just not for her. She could have succeeded, in fact, she could have been one of the

Say you try something new for the first time and you’re not so excellent at it, then you try again, and try again but it’s just not clicking. You’ve gotten better, but you are still undesired with your work, because you weren't a “Natural born.” Then you notice other people doing it, and they are so much better so you ask for some help. They say something like, “Just keep trying” or “I wasn’t excellent to begin with at first either.” Those super talented people just keep trying and trying with determination and got somewhere. Without failing you won’t learn and achieve.What I believe is that to fail or give up Is not an option, this is due to the fact that everyone learns at a different pace, and you shouldn’t be embarrassed to practice. Even if you’re not the best at whatever you are doing.

Psychologically, I believe I am on a pretty good path. However, if I do fail at something, for example a test in my field of study, I realize this could have the ability to distort my goals. I would feel they are now out of reach or, I actually am incapable of completing the actual task. Because of this, I could become demoralized losing motivation. If this should ever be an issue, I would do my best to ignore my reaction to the failure. I would make a list of the factors relating to my field of study that are actually in my control and focus my energy on those items I can control leaving the others behind. By doing this I could improve these elements and then defeat my misperception while improve my odds of future success.

Failure isn’t all about always doing bad it’s all about trying and doing good. Not trying is worse than failing. Also because individuals will not learn from experiences, learn about tastes and will never succeed.

As my first semester of college is coming to an end, I would like to reflect on my experience here within the Honors 120 and 121 class on Failure and the Question Wheel. I chose this class on failure because I have always held myself to such high standards that I hoped to be able to find a way to accept failure in some instances. Within our first week in class, we made claims about failure. My favorite claim was that every failure is in some way a success. Although this claim was not very debatable and incredibly generic, I was able to really let my mind explore what it was trying to say. Throughout the semester I experienced failure after failure, but that allowed me to see that success can still be achieved within failures.

“It’s better to have tried and failed than not to have tried at all” Do you agree?

“Giving up is the only sure way to fail”.Five years ago that is exactly what I did. In junior high school I failed to uphold the values that I set forth prior to beginning junior high school. I always told myself that I would work hard for my grades, that I would put my all into my work even if I didn’t get good grades, and most importantly I would be a strong intelligent young man. Instead I gave up, I slacked off, got my house called every week, and worst of all I acted a fool in class.Ultimately my grades paid the price, and so did I. I was supposed to be mature and well rounded before I left junior high school ,but at the rate I was going I didn’t see that for my
