One strategy is to give as much effort into what you want to achieve in as how much you want to achieve it. Another is strategy is to fail , learn , and correct your mistakes for experience. The last strategy is to practice as capable as imagine that you are. This essay lists the three strategies of learning by stating the positive outcomes of success that might come from this. For effort , Angela Duckworth came to feel that it was not as relevant when it came to outstanding achievements from people who accomplish great things. She states that “ Simply equating the growth mindset with effort certainly is a key to success , but it's not the only one. “ Duckworth had many notes taken on many different students , but eventually settled on the 24 most statistically reliable ones, from this student is eager to explore new things. A claim she made is “ Students need to try new …show more content…
” Failing is not a bad thing because it is just a learning experience. Paul Tough made the remark “ Failure is not a sign to give up , it is an opportunity to correct your mistakes. Some people celebrate failure because it is a chance to have more education stored into their brain. Succeeding after failure feels even better than succeeding your first try to some people. Once again , the three tips you can use to learn and succeed in the future are practice , failure , and effort. The first strategy is to give as much effort as you can into the goal you are trying to achieve. The second one is to recognize the mistakes you have had from your failure and correct them to learn from the experience. The third one is to practice as bad as you want to succeed. This essay lists the three strategies of learning by stating the positive outcomes of success that might come from
Failure is something that we cannot go through life without experiencing. The best thing about failure is that failure can be used as a great learning experience to improve upon things in our lives and career. Using failure as a learning tool is dependent upon the person and how they view it as well as how they use it. Failure is a matter of perspective and the lessons in failure are important aspects towards growth and development. If we did not experience failure there wouldn’t be opportunities for learning. Failure can teach us about ourselves as well as provide an understanding for our
This shows that, in order to be successful, you want to have determination and know your own strengths and weaknesses. In the article, “How to get back on the horse” by Rebecca Zucker, Zucker says “When you cultivate and build resilience, you gain the ability to bounce back and try again with more experience and wisdom.” (2) This shows that, you need to be able to get up and try again when things get tough and to not give up. In conclusion, you need to have a good mindset in order to find the recipe for success. Lastly, in order to find the recipe for success, it is to set a goal you know you can
Being able to effectively learn is one of the most important and crucial skills that we, as humans, will ever use in this life. The book Make It Stick is written by Peter Brown, Henry Roediger, Mark McDaniel, and was published in 2014. In it is information about how our minds work and useful learning strategies. While most of the book is focused on learning in schools, there are also sections on teaching, and how the strategies can be applied in the real world. In order to get the most out of this book it is important to reflect on how well we have done in the past, and how we will use the information in the future.
Everybody makes mistakes. Failure can be a motivation, for it drives you to have a bigger passion for your desired goal. Success and failure have a relationship in which you can learn from your mistakes but later succeed.
My third goal addresses this constant need for improvement with the philosophy that the only way to improve is through gains in knowledge and wisdom. To meet this goal, I must dive into my studies and reap all that there is to ascertain from them.
At the same time, you realize that even small changes in your approach to learning can have a large, overall impact on your success. 2. When evaluating your “success”, recognize your efforts rather than the end result. We all are here in university, not because of a single event, but due to a series of experiences which allowed us to develop our character and to better understand who we are. By focusing on the importance of these experiences, we realize that it is the process, and not the result, which defines how enriching our learning is.
Everyone has experienced failure before. Some people think there is no good side to disappointments. Failure and disappointments can help you grow a learn as a person. Tack Abraham Lincoln for example, he has had a lot of failures. He ran for state legislature and Congress, but he lost both, He also lost eight elections. He began a business but went bankrupt for a long time. With all these disappointments and failures, he still never gave up, but instead he learned from them. Lincoln ran for Congress and state legislature again and won! He might have learned what he did wrong the first time and improved it for the second time. He grew from his past mistakes.
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 believe that one should constantly learn and seek new skills and information since it enhances one’s understanding of the world, provide opportunities, and develop skills. Committed to learning, I am willing to spend the necessary time to cultivate my mind in the quest for knowledge and I achieved this through diligence, perseverance, discipline, and by providing the best work possible in the workplace around me. This ambition to push for excellence would be a beneficial trait to have in the future, for I still strive to put quality into everything I do, even when I do not receive any recognition or praise, and this attitude would help me make rapid strides not only in my academic career but my life overall.
Failure can feel devastating when you are living through the experience. I felt this way during one of the greatest failures in my life, failing to qualify for State History Day in my junior year of high school. This was my third History Day competition and I had previously qualified for State. While I entered the event with confidence from previous competitions and a final product that I thought was close to perfect, experiencing failure this time taught me how to strive for the best that I can be, persevere through tough times, and that sometimes your best isn't always the best.
Failure can be a very difficult thing to cope with. It can be something that makes you or breaks you. I have learned that failure is what defines a person; it shows your motivation to bounce back when things get rough. I have learned from my failure instead of dwelling on it and making myself weaker.
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.
‘Strategies for Lifelong Learning’ has been unexpectedly and therapeutically revealing. Throughout our correspondence we’ve shared personal, and professional challenges, and wins. In doing so, I’ve come to realize strengths and areas for improvement, which is why I chose to discuss the second habit from the 7 Habits of Highly Successful People, titled; ‘Begin With the End in Mind’.
Homer’s Iliad verse “Ever to Excel” is one that demonstrates the importance of constantly pushing yourself for greater achievements, even when your current standing seems sufficient. Testing your limits does not simply entail joining a new group, or aimlessly trying to do as many things as possible. To surpass oneself demands structured and unwavering determination. For most, this simple realisation comes too late, but in my opinion, a student’s biggest sin is to not plan ahead, and utilise every opportunity that presents itself, so that they can develop and test their capabilities.
3. Be persistent. Don't give up. Keep building on your dreams, whatever they are. Imagine your dreams as seeds under the ground. Even though you can't see them, you know they are there and you have to water them if you want it to grow. Thomas Edison racked up over 10,000 failed experiments before he invented the light bulb. Or rather he found 10,000 ways not to light a light bulb. Be persistent, but also be flexible. Flexibility allows us to learn from our mistakes, and to learn from others. Persistence means to just keep at it and flexibility means to embrace change when necessary.
