Failure is a Good Thing 11-17-06
1. Write down a quote that you agree with or disagree with, and explain why you agree or disagree.
"Success is boring. Success is proving that you can do something that you already know you can do...Failure is how we learn." I really agree with that quote because success is boring. People are not rewarded with what they did wrong but with what they did right. What we did right is something we know we can handle, something we know we can deal with. That's why I agree.
2. Describe one of the biggest failures you've made in your life. How did the failure affect you? What did you learn from the failure?
One of my biggest failures was messing up in my clarinet recital andI was embarrassed I knew I was probably going to mess up, but I tried anyway and after, I practiced and I got it down.
3. Why do you think I'm having you listen to this story?
You made us listen to the story because you wanted us to learn that its ok to mess up and to not stress over it because you can always get back on the horse.
