FAILURE
/Fāl-yər/
DEFINE IT...
(neglecting, default, forgetfulness)
HOW OR WHY IS “NOT DOING” SOMETHING CONSIDERED FAILING?
WHAT ARE WE SO AFRAID OF?
SERIOUSLY...I’M ASKING YOU...
If we fail at a task...
Do we fear what our friends think of us?
Do we fear what our family will think of us?
Do we fear what our teachers will think of us?
Will these people still support you if you fail?
Here is what I think...
We are taught to fear failure from an early age because of school. Getting the “right” answer the first time is often the only thing rewarded. Getting the wrong answer is marked wrong and points are taken away. Failing is never talked about as a necessity for success.
How do we fix that?
First, we stop running from fear.
And then realize that...
“Keep your head up in failure, and your head down in success”
