1) A time I failed this past semester was when in this class
I had trouble completing assignments and failed to complete them on time. This
was often due to my forgetful nature and forgot that we had a cupcake due the
first few times around, or did not plan out my time to complete assignments
efficiently enough.
2) From this I really learned the importance of not giving
up after this failure and not being too hard on myself for it as well. I
learned that if I want to fix these failures I have to make changes in my work
routine and start by actively writing down all due dates for the assignments
and working on them ahead of time.
3) I believe it is not hard or rare to fail, but the hard part
about failure is accepting it and moving forward for the better from it. The
way I handle emotional or behavioral failure is to look at what I have been
doing and try to change it and once I figure out what to change, I move on. I
move on, but all the while keeping it in the back of my mind for motivation.
This class changed my perspective on failure because it made me see and realize
how natural and often failure is in everyone’s lives.
Hey Chris,
ReplyDeleteI've forgotten about the cupcakes to. Sometimes I think my mind tricked me into forgetting about them because there just no fun to do and they seem so small. I always get angry with myself whenever I make mistakes. I feel I'm letting myself down as well as my parents and my family and contributing to a path which leads away from everything I hope to accomplish. I now know it's much healthier just to accept that you're going to mess up and that the only thing you can do is try to do better.
Hey Chris, I also struggled when it came to forgetting things in this class. Although I did not forget to do any cupcakes, I did forget on two or three separate occasions to do the peer reviews by Monday, which definitely harmed my grade in the class. It is important to not be too hard on yourself, and just learn from your mistakes and think of ways to improve that will avoid the failure.
