To Learn To Succeed, You Must Learn To Fail
Quote Fancy

"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed." —Michael Jordan

The secret to the success is failure. Personally I feel that one’s success is gained from failure of different issues. I once proved the same on my high school education. To me this was really a motivation. I failed my end of term exam and I realized my weaknesses. Indeed failure leads to identifying the different areas as well as how organized some aspects are to be. More importantly, one's failure acts as a motivation to achieve the best as well as set goals and objectives. Indeed, failure is the key determinant of success for an individual across all levels.

Life is characterized by many ups and downs even though a person gets to learn more when they are down. While down, many people experience challenges that serve to strengthen the will and resolve of the people. Being down teaches people the mistakes that they made and as such enables them to change accordingly and become a better person. Failure makes us perfect, and it’s through this we are in a position to identify what we can adjust to improve, will be able to know where we go wrong and also how we can make it better. So it’s good to us as individuals to accept that failure is the way and part of progress and success.

It's almost difficult to experience success without encountering some sort of disappointment in the form of failures. In a broad spectrum, failure is an important part of life which everybody has encountered in different ways. Failure may even be viewed by some as the inverse of achievement. In any case, disappointments are truth be told the venturing stones of accomplishment. Nothing beneficial in life has ever been accomplished without a progression of disappointments. Scores of studies have established many cases of success that mainly take root from failures. As a matter of fact, most successful people in the world have experienced a lot of difficulties which they used as stepping stones for building a better and a more successful life.

There is a regularity in our lives we begin to appreciate and value after we lose. But why? I think it is an enigma. After we fail something, we have only two options to give up or to continue with double the effort. The first variant is inappropriate for me, though I take the second one. But speaking about psychological side of the point, we can be satisfied with the work done, after we had some negative experience in previous work. And when we are given one more chance, this time we will plan and work out all details in order to make the task a perfect one. I am sure our personal success depends on our spirit and will power. If a person is weak in his beliefs and skills, it is certain he or she will never recover from some fail, on the other hand, every of us has our own notion of success. And by this point, success is a controversial question.

We cannot go without naming and acknowledging some of the greatest and most influential people in the world whose journeys begun from a dark tunnel. Isaac Newton, Walt Disney, Oprah Winfrey, just to name but a few, have shaken the world through their discoveries, innovations and creations making the world a better place to live. The exhibition of these traits of tolerance has seen many scholars and critics lunge into research with the aim of identifying what really gives an individual the zeal to continue pushing on when all seems lost. What lessons can be derived from failure that warrant and guarantee success?

Success is about doing the same thing over and over despite the odds. It begins with learning to persist even at the face of desperation and failure. It matters to reflect upon and focus on the reason why you started. However, despite all the dedication, persistence and beating the odds, sometimes things fail to work to one's favor. Even at strong leaders and business moguls know one secret that one needs to fail in order to succeed in any business venture.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
