Regrettably, I haven't learned much from these failures, as far as being better on the next assignments. I have learned that I do not want to be an entrepreneur (even though that wasn't really my plan to begin with). I'm happy with a typical desk job, where I'd still collaborate with my coworkers; where'd I'd feel comfortable.
Failure is hard. It's hard because it's frustrating, especially because hindsight is 20/20. It's also difficult because it forces us to reflect upon our actions and take responsibility for the outcome; it's shoving aside blame and admitting a potential weakness within us. But this is why failure is important: it helps us fix our flaws and improve ourselves. Therefore, as frustrating as facing failure can be, I do not let it discourage me. I embrace failure and adapt to better my current standing.
For most things, I handle failure well. If I fail a test, I study extra hard for the next one. If I make a careless mistake, I'm sure to be conscientious of it the next time around. However, I can also be very stubborn, which has definitely caused some of my failures and this very stubbornness prevents me from learning my lesson.
I'd say, given my stubbornness, and the reason why I took this class (elective credit) I still view failure about the same and I'm probably no more likely to go take risks.
Id say even though this into your forte obviously you'll face failure in your typical job no matter where you end up. Take the failure to heart and apply it accordingly. Check out my take on this http://entgarrett.blogspot.com/2016/03/celebrating-failure-yaaaay.html
ReplyDeleteHey Hayley, I think a lot of people would agree with your outcome from this class, we cannot choose to be shy or outspoken. It is hard to understand what we have done wrong and admitting our mistakes in order to get better in the future. life is just like an ice cream bar we try new flavors so we learn which ones we don't like, just like songs and different Majors some of us can't even decide on a profession so we just choose two and work extremely hard to have a double degree since you are not sure if you wanted to be a lawyer or a doctor.
ReplyDeleteso all kudos to you girly ! I have felt the same way about all the interviews although I am a very talkative and outspoken person I never knew if people would want to talk to me and some of the assignments were somewhat awkward to complete. but hey its almost the end.
feel free to checkout how I failed:

Hey Heyley,
ReplyDeleteI feel like we have all been there with your story. Missing assignments and getting caught up doing other things it’s something I know all too well, and I wish I could go back in time and be more productive and motivated and gotten better grades. But I do agree, I have personally completed all my assignments for this class except for the ones that require me interviewing and recording others. This was also out of my comfort zone and I thought it was unnecessary to include others in my schooling. Either way I agree with what you said sometimes you just have to adapt to new circumstances.
