    I cried for weeks and I repeatedly asked myself why I had an error on the form that day. Again, I like what Kathryn Schulz said and I quote, “One of the noblest and best things we can is to live life free of regret. “Anytime I made a mistake, it takes a longer period of time for me to get over it, which intend causes me to lose focus in some the most important things in life such studies. So, if people learn to let go of the mistakes made, not only are they preventing future consequences, but they will actually live a stress-free life which is healthy and peaceful. Kathryn, brought in a quote from Lady Macbeth,” Things without a remedy should be without regard; what’s done is done.” Sometimes what people need to know is that they cannot changed the past, however they can plan again and avoid the mistakes that were made the first time. Another thing I learned from Kathryn is that as humans, mistakes are bound to happen, when they do live it behind and move on with your life. Most people go into a state of denial whenever something bad happens. They have hard time accepting what has happened. I think if twenty percent of American are picked and asked how they manage regret in their life, I think more than half of them will accept the fact that they cannot

  • The Importance Of Success For College

    This happened when I failed. My failure reveled to me several life-lessons. One lesson that it showed was to never give up. I was right on track to achieving success, until I stopped trying. If I had continued to try to reach my goal, I would have achieved success. Another life-lesson that my failure taught me was to set your goals high, to a point where you can’t stop trying until you have met your goal. During my freshman through junior year, I worked very hard to accomplish my goal. Then, during senior year, I stopped trying to achieve my goal, because I thought that I already met the goal. If I would have changed my goal to being the top of my class, I would have had to try very hard until the day of graduation. In turn, I would have become an honor graduate. My failure also taught me to never give up. I would have achieved success, if I hadn’t given up. Another aspect of life that my failure taught me was to never forget your goals. When “senior-it is” hit me, I completely forgot about my goals. Had I remembered my goal, I would have succeeded. One last life lesson that failure has revealed to me is to always try your hardest. No matter what the task is, always put all you have to overcome the obstacle. Failure is disappointing, but it is a necessary part of
