Lessons Learned From Failure
There are many different lessons that I have learnt from failure. When working on one project for a year there are many ups and downs that come with it. Some days everything will go exactly to plan while other days would not go to plan. Instead, they become a stressor because I could not finish everything that I wanted to be able to.
A recent experience of failure would be from this previous year of iproject. With my iproject I focused most of my attention on completing it during iproject time. I wanted to be able to use all the the time that had been allotted to us to the fullest. That was always a main goal of mine whenever I would be working. That goal was something that I was able to do while other times I would not be able to the time

Whether it be some a minor incident to a larger problem there were issues at times. When working this project, it left me wanting to make sure that everything was up to my standard for myself. That was because it was on something that I am curious about. There were expectations for myself to meet. Everything that I tried to do that they would have to meet or I would feel unsatisfied with the end result. A specific incidence of failure was that I was not able to find a medical school application. The reason why that was a disappointment is because I wanted to have something on the table. That would let viewers to see how it was like to go through and become a doctor. This affected me by causing me to become disappointed. It learnt several different things from this. I learned that sometimes even when you try to work for something it does not always guarantee that it will pay off in the end. Sometimes even when you work your hardest it does not mean that it will always get the result that you wanted. That is just a reality that I had to face as I was working on my project. Many times I would overestimate what I could d0 in one day, and that would leave me feeling disappointed when I could not do everything that I wanted to be able to do. Another incident that I consider as a failure was that I did not have a stethoscope with me at the iproject display. I wanted that there with me to give the passerby a more interactive

    For some people it takes forever to figure out that failure is not always a bad thing, while at the time it may seem like the end of the world. “We are all potentially capable of any human act.” (Roth 39). Even the most successful of people have failed at something at least once in their lives. Maybe consider though, that failure was what brought them back up to the best, hardest working person that they could be and it did not take long for them to retrieve what they had lost and made it ten times better!…

    A time when I experienced extreme failure was when I was in my sophomore year of high school. When I started the year, I had the mindset of, “This is going to be easy. I’m not going to sweat it.” Reason being, in my freshman year, I passed all my classes easily and I thought the next school year would be the same. I was in for a rude awakening by then. It was my first year starting an AP class and I heard stories that it was going to be easy if one paid attention in class. As the first semester went, it was a struggle already. I had easily underestimated the workload and found myself barely passing with a C. I have the type of personality where I put a lot of pressure on myself and stress out easily; as one can imagine, I was very hard on myself.…

    Everyday people strive for perfection, but the truth is that no one will ever achieve it. Within every task, challenge or achievement, failure is present. Most fear the possibility of failure because weaknesses are brought out and people feel vulnerable. On the other hand I witnessed a learning aspect from failure, and have a new understanding of it. Varsity football was where I faced a large amount of failure, but in turn learned many lessons.…

    I believe that the American Dream is something that people can still achieve. Although it isn’t something that you can grab however,and perchase. Indeed you have to earn it. You may fail before accomplishing the American Dream. Just because you fail doesn’t mean you can’t accomplish your dream you can always try something different and still be successful. However, don’t let anyone or anybody destroy your dream or ever tell you that your not going to amount to anything because that’s not true. I can refer to this beacause Bill Gates and President Barack Obama is an prime example of the American Dream. Barack Obama didn’t have that problem he believe his teachers and family told him that he would be successful. On the other hand Bill Gates did kids at school criticized and laughed at him calling him dreadful names. But that did not stop Gates from accomplishing his dream. He kept pursuing his dream and at the end of the day when it was all said and done Bill Gates became successful.…
