Celebrating Failure


via GIPHY
The most recent incident that I have encountered failure was during my marketing exam several weeks ago. I had studied for many weeks and thought I was prepared, however, my test score proved otherwise. I had failed myself and my grade.

I learned that the strategy I was using to memorize terms wasn't working as well as I wished it would. I came up with another strategy to memorize vocal terms and it seems to be helping quite a bit.

Failure can be an extremely humbling experience. The best entrepreneurs always discuss how failure makes them stronger and I agree that it does. I believe that every experience we encounter in our lives is just another piece to the puzzle. If we don't encounter certain experiences, we will never finish our goals to live a complete life. This class has helped me recognize failure in a positive way. Instead of continuously being down on yourself, it is best to learn from the situation to do better next time.

    Hi Drew,
    I think you make a good point about how failure is an important experience for people. Also you mentioned how "failure can be an extremely humbling experience" which I completely agree with, once you learn to accept failure it can have a more positive impact.

    Drew,

    The key to success is learning from your failures and using them for future jobs and assignments. You must use the knowledge gained from failures as a positive later on. I agree that failure is humbling, but that is not always a bad thing for the most part. I also agree that this class has helped me look at things from a different perspective and I am definitely going to use that in the future to help me out. Good job on this assignment and if you get a chance check out my post on failure as well.

    Drew,
    I agree that failure can be an extremely humbling experience. Learning from an experience and changing your behavior to improve for the next time is really key and I think that you definitely learned that. Hopefully the rest of marketing has been going well for you!
