A time this semester when I failed was when I made it a goal to use an agenda and journal more often to stay more organized, but hardly touched it all semester. I wanted to start using an agenda because I would often forget about the things I needed to do each day. I learned that while it would be nice to use an agenda, I am often all over the place and don't always have my agenda with me for when I would need to write in it.
I was definitely disappointed in myself for not reaching a goal that I placed for myself. Luckily this was not a major failure because failure is definitely hard on me. I hate failing myself, and I hate failing other people. I am very hard on myself, so when I fail, I am even harder on myself than normal. This class really has opened my eyes to not being so afraid of failure, because its bound to happen and its how you overcome it. I think I am more prepared for failing after this class, and I will be more okay with taking risks.
I too find it hard most of the time to write things I have to do down in a calendar. I have the same problem you have with forgetting things in my usually busy days. I can relate to being disappointed with forgetting things and seeing it as a failure. This class has definitely taught me too that it is how you respond to your failure and forgetting the small things is probably not the end of the world.
ReplyDeleteI’ve tried to make this a goal in my life since middle school. It’s hard to remember to write things down! It’s also easier to forget about assignments when you don’t write them down, though. You’re right, this isn’t a major failure, but even if it was it would still be alright. Failure is a part of the road to success.
ReplyDeleteThis is great that you can turn your failure into a lesson that can be learned. Its not the worst failure in the world but it does not matter.
