This past semester I tried to become more organized. I did this by buying a calendar and a planner and making lists of what I had to get done. I would make extensive lists every day in my planner and was so hard on myself to do everything written. Every week I’d fail to do something and would have to push it back a few days or into the next week. It got to a point where I was so frustrated as to why I lacked the discipline to finish my lists. But then I realized that my point in starting this wasn’t to accomplish lists but to become more organized so that I could get more done not get everything done. I learned that I was growing just by the fact that I was setting goals for myself and keeping myself accountable. However, I needed to be realistic with my goals and be aware that my productivity levels would vary by day and circumstances.
Failure is a part of life, just another one of the motions. It’s hard but isn’t impossible to get through. It builds character and allows flaws to come to surface in order to
I think I handle failure to the best of my abilities. I do get upset and down at times, but I don’t let it consume me. I allow myself to feel what I’m feeling, then I move on, otherwise I’ll get stuck in the failure and never grow.
This class allowed me to realize that failure is necessary for growth. Without failure you have nowhere to go from. I might be more willing to take risks now, but it still depends on that risks I’m taking, I still like to be cautious.
Hey Jennifer,
ReplyDeleteFailure is a part of life, and it is always important that one is able to overcome it, and especially to learn from it, as to be better people. I'm glad to hear that you were working on being more organized. It is also good to know that you hold yourself accountable, as that builds character and responsibility.
Hey Jennifer,
ReplyDeleteFailing is what makes us succeed in the end. Great story and failure can either lead you to fold or be motivated and get the job done yourself. Great work!
Hi Jennifer,
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with your outlook on failure. It is a part of life that everyone has to contend with. Not a single person in the world has never failed at anything, and what matters is how you deal with failure when -not if- it happens. I think I learned quite a bit from this class too, and I would absolutely agree with your observation that the class taught you that failure is necessary for growth.
Excellent work!
