When thinking about this past semester and the times that I have failed, one specific thought comes to mind. In one of my business classes, we have two exams and various other assignments in the course. When taking our first exam, I didn't realize how much studying I should of done. Unfortunately, I did not do very well on the exam because I wasn't fully prepared for it. I should of taken more time to study and organized a schedule for studying so I was completely prepared for the exam. I learned to better prepare myself for exams and set aside plenty of time to study for each exam I have.
I think failure is hard to accept, but once you make a mistake, you can learn from it and continue to move forward. When handling failure I accept the fact that I can move on from it and it was something in the moment. I think this class has changed my perspective on failure because I am more likely to take more of a risk now than I was a few months ago.
I had a very similar experience with one of my business classes and I have struggled with that class this semester. I can completely relate to the type of material you might be studying. I also used this failure to adjust the way I studied by using a different approach to the exams. I think that taking risk is important in entrepreneurship because you really never know what will unfold next.
ReplyDeleteHi Ashley, I had a VERY similar experience to this as well, so definitely don't be too hard on yourself. I think this failure is helpful though as you can now understand what you need to do in order to succeed in that class and maybe adjust your study skills. I think accepting the fact and moving on is the best thing you can do too!
