1. I failed in making it to an exam. It was the start of the semester and I wanted to get a really good grade because it was the first exam. I studied all week, maybe a little too much, and I ended up oversleeping. I was able to make up the exam, but at a point reduction. To me, I failed because I could no longer get the grade that I wanted.
2. I learned that sometimes if you push too hard, the outcome will not be what you want. I pushed myself too hard studying and neglected my sleep which caused me to miss the exam. I should have been more in balance and in control. I was so blinded by doing anything I could to get the best grade that I forgot what I needed to do to actually make it to the exam.
3. Failure is rough. Deep down you know it makes you better and shapes you, but it is still hard to go through. I think I handle failure fairly well. I have a good perspective on failure and know it makes me better. I think that this class has made me want to fail even more if that makes sense. Reading about entrepreneurs and listening to lectures about successful people who fail make it sound like failing is more positive than it is negative.
