Why Do People Fail Have An External Locus

Lebron James once said, “Don’t be Afraid to fail this is the way to succeed.” This quote has many reasons he tells us with all his achievements he has failed as well it’s a normal person thing to do. Failing will give us knowledge on what he or she did wrong and that person will have a idea how to fix it and then you can start winning or succeeding in life. Maybe a person can’t find a way to succeed or win by failing maybe that’s just not something they’re good at but on themselves know what they’re good at and take matters into our own hands and fix that. Go pick something yourself loves or good at but if you’re okay with losing than that person is probably not a

Roger Von Oech proved that a person who has no experience in failing would not have enough strength or a harder time getting back up. In his article, “To Err Is Wrong”, he talks about having a friend who just graduated with a master degree and is having a hard time getting a job. He says her problem is, “she doesn’t know how to fail”(Oech 89). He explains that because of her inexperience in failing, she is afraid of taking chances in doing what might not go right. For me, I have failed at many things like writing an essay but like many people when I receive the grade I just don’t throw the essay.

As I discussed earlier in my writtings, I think that failure cannot be avoided and we are presented with failures to gain an opportunity to learn. Failures will be an aspect at some point professionally and or personally so that we can grow and develop as

Everyone has a different level of fear and curiosity that spurs them to approach intellectual risk in their own unique ways. Many students avoid AP classes or honors because “in the high-stakes world of accomplished children, a B+ is akin to failure, and failure is not allowed,” as stated by Pamela Paul. In general, students have the fear of failure drilled into their heads since they were young, and to them “failure” is all about low grades as opposed to lack of learning. The few who are curious enough and have a strong enough desire to learn are the ones who are viewed as less accomplished because they take risks and so are the ones to fail, but they are also the ones who learn more.

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.

They might give up because generally, they might consider as the bad. The world does not require people who have ability to achieve high scores. The world required people who have different skills. (67) The knowledge that people learned is more important when it is using for the future.

Shocked standing in confusion you find out your friend intentionally failed at something you needed help with. Trying to grasp the reason they failed you you are dumbfounded. Some people believe that failure is essential for success. In the book, The 5 Elements of Effective Thinking, the authors, Edward Burger and Michael Starbird, state that a person should intentionally fail in order to succeed. However, this stance is inaccurate because it goes against biblical evidence, causes psychological problems, and make success impossible in the professional world.

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.

In a famous quote by Coco Chanel she states that “Success is most often achieved by those who don't know that failure is inevitable” (Chanel). This could be telling us that if you haven’t failed you will never lean. A different person Eminem, tells us that, “I was a smart kid, but I hated school” (Eminem). From this we can see that even tho a student is smart he or she decides

Through out my high school career I never took my education seriously. For most of the four years it was a big blur. I’m not quite sure if it was because of me or if I found myself blaming my surroundings or teachers for my lack of focus and strive to learn. A failure can mean different things to everyone else. Maybe there’s just different types or categories of failures. These failures are meant to teach us something, or motivate us to simply not make these mistakes again.

Some failures could let you later to succeed. I experienced failure when I didn't pass my TSI Reading test. I took it too many times and failed it. When I took the TSI the first time I was really nervous. I was so worried about passing the first 24 questions. However, I kept trying with the second test which includes 36 additional questions. Finally, I decided to not take it again until the following year. Therefore, I took it again and failed it again. At first I found it so difficult to understand the questions because I was not that used to reading in English. I came from Mexico and had difficulties with this Language. Furthermore, that was not an obstacle that would last too much.Although I thought that I would never be able to take college

I was in Mr. Griffin History class when I saw a student exhibiting a negative identity pattern of failure. While in the class the student was require to complete a class assignment in which he had to write a paragraph about the three important developments made during the Renaissance period. As soonest everyone started to work on the assignment the student walked up to the Mr. Griffin staying that he could not complete the assignment because it was too difficult for him and writing a paragraph is too much to do. This shows that the student has a mentality of failure already limiting his ability to complete the assignment successfully.

The word “failure”, by definition, is the condition of not achieving the desired end or ends. However, this standard definition does not come close to summing up the countless other meanings of failure. Every person, regardless of status, color, or sex, has had to deal with this issue at least once in their lifetime. Even so, each person’s definition of it can vary depending on their personal experiences. The interpretations of failure may differ, but failure itself involves not putting forth effort, being a disappointment, or not succeeding in a task.

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.

Traditionally, failure is seen as a negative concept and is defined as lacking success. I, on the other hand, try to put a positive spin on everything in life. I see failure as an obstacle that is experienced by all, but it does not define an individual. Failure in essence will force an individual to be more receptive to their surroundings and actions and also will force an individual to mature. Looking back on my childhood years I can now pinpoint the areas where I failed and I can confidently say that I have grown and prospered due to those failures. The three major failures I have experienced were my attention deficit issues which affected my ability to succeed in school, my anti-social habit that I let consume my early years, and my
