Celebrating Failure

1. This semester I have been very busy studying for my LSAT exam so I started not to care much about my other classes and did not complete many assignments on time. For one of my classes there is really annoying busy work due every week but it is not worth a lot of my grade so I just stopped doing it because I thought I would still end with an A. But after a month of not doing the busy work I realized I was screwed because all those assignments accumulated and I had a B and could not go up from there. I realized that just because it is a super irrelevant and small assignment I still need to do it and not just choose some homeworks over others. I

2. I learned that small work is equally important as bigger assignments and they can determine your whole grade. Although I did get more LSAT studying done, my GPA will now be lower, which will make my law school applications worse so I should have just done the assignments in the first place.

3. I think that failure is hard mainly because of all the regret you have after. What could you have done better, differently, or what you shouldn’t have done. I think it takes a lot to learn from failure and face what you did wrong and try to fix it next time. I handle failure very intensly because if I make a mistake I will try my hardest to never make it again, and I usually never do. I feel very guilty and end up trying extra hard to make sure it does not happen again or change my behavior completely. If I do bad on a test, I will over study for the next one. This class has made me accept risk more and be okay with failure. Because in my business and everyone else’s business, we have all faced failure and learned from it.
