Inside Out

The narrator writes “Those with a growth mindset reported that after a setback in school, they would simply study more or study differently the next time” (Dweck 2). The interesting part about this quote is that when a student is struggling as they try to achieve something, and if the results are not what they expected they will push themselves into doing better in the future. This is not only a situation that happens with students, but to many humans who are still developing their intelligence. Therefore, it is common and ok for people to fail as long as failure becomes the motivation to achieve

1. Angel B. Perez makes an argument that students must learn to fail in order to get into college. This makes me think that are some colleges not goingto accept me if Idon't reveal that yes, like many students Ihave failed a class. Ifeel that as it is important to open up to your failures,it shouldn't affect your thought process on what college or career you would pursue. Failure is somethingwe should definitely learn from and accept but do we all accept it? "

Failure is a part of life. While many see failure as a negative thing, I have started to see it as a situation that can make you a better person. Failure drives me to never make that mistake again. I first realized this when I took my first AP class and AP exam and received a score of 2. This journey all started sophomore year when I took AP World History. I quickly learned that I needed to actually read and take notes to be able to succeed in the class. It took a few poor grades on essays and tests for me to understand this. Despite this new revelation, I still struggled in the class. When it came time to start reviewing and preparing for the exam, I put an immense amount of effort, but not as hard as I should’ve been. Exam day came and

Society is so focused on not failing that people are aiming not to fail instead of aiming to succeed. However, failure in many cases can lead to success by making a person want to work harder to achieve his or her goal. People should always continue to reach their highest potential because there will always be someone trying to surpass them unless they are working on improving themselves. Not only would broadening someone’s horizons lead to experience, but also personal growth.

Failures are important, but learning from them is

As the story progresses, Riley and her family move from Minnesota to San Francisco, where Riley experiences culture shock. She and her family find their home to be more than a bit worn and dismal. To make matters worse, their furniture has become lost in the cross-country move, and Riley’s father is experiencing stress and anxiety in his job at a startup firm. Riley is uncomfortable at her new school and in her new social environment as a whole. Riley’s mother urges her to keep smiling, stay happy, and be there for her father. At first the emotions are able work together, keeping Riley in harmony. However, Sadness begins to cloud Riley’s memories and feelings and override her balanced personality. She tells Joy, “Something’s wrong with me. I think I’m having a breakdown.” Joy attempts to take Sadness out of

When I look at the word failure I didn’t see success. But that slowly changed as I read the book What the Best College Students Do by Ken Bain Chapter four. Bain, for me and I’m sure many other, have changed our view point on failure being a bad thing. He instead expressed failure as an “opportunity to learn something.” (121) As infants we grow and develop, we learn to walk by falling down a couple hundred times, and we learn to speak by babbling. By trying to walk, and trying to talk, we may fail at first. As an infant, you cannot give up when you are face to face with failure. You must get up and try again to learn. In the book, What the Best College Students Do by Ken Bain he uses people’s experiences and research to explain why failure is an opportunity to learn something new, rather than seeing failure as something bad. He asserts “people who become highly creative and productive learn to acknowledge failures, even to embrace them, and to explore and learn from them.” (100) Failure is important. If we did not get up and try again as infants, we would not be where we are today.

As adolescents begin their senior year, the topic of college often runs without hindrance, often causing extreme stress. As the monetary value, as well as the time spent, begins to accumulate in their minds, students often find themselves bound at the wrists figuring out a way to balance as well as afford college living. In many cases, the upcoming graduates are unsure about their career path, almost enhancing their stress in choosing a school that would cater to their needs. It is almost then they begin to ponder whether or not University/college life is for them, which is could be an extremely advantageous shot in a, for example, high achieving family. Whilst college does allow for a plethora of doors to be opened, the lack of time, effort, and money can hinder one 's ability to properly choose a university. Though school can help with the stepping stones of life, they do not entirely ensure a proper future, therefore many may opt out of school; however, with the correct actions, they may turn out extremely successful, which may not have even happened without the release of the burden of school.

The research shows that people fail and succeed all the time. Research tells me that people that fail have an External Locus. A Locus is an individual’s belief about their outcomes in life. There are two types of locus of control External and Internal control. External Locus is a person who believes that there outcomes in life is that it is by luck and chance and other things. Internal Locus is a person who believes that there reward is to do with themselves and nobody else that if they get a bad grade on something that it was with there on doing.Locus of control is important to students because it might help them understand that you can change your locus now if you are an internal then stay an internal if you’re an External you should be shriving

They will feel bad for themselves if they do not try on the subject they have missed also their teachers will see they shouldn’t help the students if they don’t even try either. An example of why failure isn’t that bad when they actually try are experienced students experienced students started out making mistakes and then they were getting better every year when they fixed the mistakes they had on the subject they were struggling in.All students don’t always fail in their life; but when they do they keep trying until they pass every time until they get it. As students can see some people think that students will always fail all the time and that failure is bad for students in life in what situation they're in.

“Develop success from failures, discouragement and failures are two of the surest stepping stones to success” (Carnegie). Putting in the work and not getting a grade deserved is discouraging. Failure does break the average person, and they accept being beat. A negative experience is always hard to overcome, however the ones who recover are the most successful in life. A negative experience can leave a forever positive influence on their life.

Had I watched this Inside Out at different points over the semester, I would have been able to find different flaws each time. This movie is supposed to be about Riley, but it turns out to be centered around the journey that Joy and Sadness must take in order to return to headquarters, more specifically, it validates sadness as an emotion. Sadness spent her first eleven years with Riley being told to stay back and not to screw anything up, in reality, sadness is often frowned upon, because for some people, they are the opposite of Riley’s character. This movie shows that the happiest of children can go through life changing struggles and embrace their other emotions. You cannot appreciate being happy unless you have known being sad, this movie brings attention to the necessity of a balance in life.

It is often assumed that failure is a deterrent to achievement. Rather, failure should be seen as a motivator for a person to keep trying until the objective or aim of a particular mission is fulfilled.

As a young child, I quickly accepted that I would fail at things. I did not like failing, thus, I had to know how to learn from failure. Thus, I accept my shortcomings, but know that I need to understand my mistakes to improve myself. Karen Collias, Founder of Knowledge Without Boarders, says, “In the global knowledge economy, failure is an accepted part of doing business. Think about ideas and products that changed the world – the pathways to these successes are strewn with failures. Each failure offered a priceless opportunity for learning,” Therefore, advancement from failure eventually leads to success. To conclude, colleges should teach students to persevere through

Receiving a failing grade in university can be a devastating experience. For many, attending post-secondary education is a very expensive ordeal, and failing a class is not an option. There are a number of different ways that people cope with failure; they could disengage from the class, or decide to learn from the loss and work harder for next time. Reclamation following an unfortunate failure in university is a valuable skill that students must learn in order to be successful. Ruminating on how one could have done better on the paper or exam will only take away from the brief and finite amount of time one has in a semester to complete all the required expectations. I propose a number of cognitive strategies which I would suggest to a student who has just experienced a failure. Additionally, I would encourage them to remember that the quicker they move past this failure, the faster they can begin to utilize these strategies which have been proven to improve self-esteem, motivation, and goal-reaching behaviours. Beginning by simply having some compassion for yourself (Breines, 2012), followed by adaptively disengaging yourself from that negative event (Leitner, 2014), imagining your future success (Vasquez, 2007), and finally, self talking using “you” as opposed to “I” (Dolcos, 2014). I propose that each of these cognitive processes should subsequently restore self esteem while simultaneously increasing motivation to succeed on a later goal or task.
