As I got out of the car all I could do was stare down in disappointment and frustration as my father awaited my results with such a confident smile. Success is a beautiful thing that we all strive to achieve in our lives. It is what keeps us motivated and what sparks the passion in our hearts to be something in this world. But what if I told you that failure can give you that same feeling? Yes failure something that each and everyone of us will experience can give you the same exact feelings as success. You see the key to whether failure will be a positive or negative simply relies in the person going through it. My driving exams taught me that instead of failure demotivating you and stopping your passion for achieving something you want, …show more content…
My father was supportive on the way back home and tried to make me feel better but I felt sick at how I could come all the way there and fail then have to go back home with the news that I did indeed fail. Only to make matters worse when I arrived home, my grandma was dressed waiting for me with a big smile telling me "congratulations". Of course having to let everyone know that I failed my driving test is a big part of what makes failure difficult but it's also about how bad I wanted this and how confident I was. I had experienced failure before but this one stung a little more because I couldn't wait to finally have my driver licenses and I wanted to pass on my first attempt. For a week after the driving exam, I did go through a phase of demotivation. I did not even want to think about driving or touch a steering wheel. All that passion and excitement of trying to get my licenses had toned down a bit after failing. But I did not let this stop me as I started to let the failure push me to want it even more I scheduled a second test at the same dmv. During the waiting period I practiced driving every day with my father and by the time the retake day came by I was
Success and failure seem to be pretty distinct opposites, but many times the differences between success and failure aren’t as obvious as we may think them to be. Sometimes a failure can be turned into a success if you are willing to look back at them, and are open to learning from them. Many times, one’s attitude toward a failure can determine whether or not anything is learned from it. Those who remain upbeat and positive after a failure may be able to get something out of it, but those who just don’t think about it and ignore it won’t get anything from it.
For me, my driver’s test was not the utmost detrimental failure that I have ever experienced, however, it is what came out of that failure, which makes it so significant. When contemplating this, a quote by John Wooden, one of the all-time best college basketball coaches, comes to mind “failure isn’t fatal, but failure to change might be”. The lessons that I acquire from my failures have made me capable of great personal enrichment, and have allowed me to look at failure
Failure can cause a torrent of mixed emotions and thoughts. One can begin to doubt their motives for even attempting to succeed at a certain task. Some people may choose to give up after failure, but there are a select few who rise up to the occasion and move forward to try and succeed no matter how many tries it takes. By overcoming those difficult moments in life, it gives a person a sense of accomplishment and pride and that alone is a beautiful thing.
When I think about my past experiences of when I failed many scenarios come to mind. Us as humans beings are bound to fail at one point in life but its how you learn from them that makes it a fundamental. I came to a realization that all my past failures have played a huge role in my life, all of which have been either a lesson or an eye opener. The most vital scenario is when I failed to make the grade point average (GPA) required by my school to run track my first year entering high school. This event played a major role in my high school life.

Failing applies to me when I don’t what In am so post to do. When I fail it hurts me and it doesn’t help. Failing is the worst that can happened to me. I was the person last year to fail the math test. When I failed the math test I was sad, but I had to influence myself to do better. Throught trial and error I tried to seced. When a failure happened I was at home and I was trying to play a video game and a failure happened. The failure was when my video game character was trying to jump over a wall and she fell. I was so mad ,but I tried again and it didn’t work.
I like to work on my car and one thing that I have learned over the time of doing it is that what we learn when overcoming an obstacle will benefit us in later success. Cars are very tedious and sensitive things to work on and coming into a tough obstacle can really make a turn for the worse. The best way to overcome these obstacles is to have the right tools, take notes, and do not give up.
In school I never pushed myself to accomplish more than pass. Various times in my life when I knew failure was likely, I wouldn’t give any effort at all. I believed with this cushion of “I didn’t try” it would be better than trying my hardest and failing. I was very wrong. This episode happened toward the end of my junior year, I now comprehend the significance of effort. I take pride in everything I do and tend to go the extra mile when not fully necessary. I used to dread failure. I considered it to be a type of shortcoming, yet it's most certainly not. It's shown me a lot about myself and what I need to do. I would rather succeed than fall, yet failing shows you quite a lot more. It allows you to improve yourself, and succeed the second time. Thinking back on it, this wasn’t a very insane moment, most people would just shrug it off and say they’ll do better the next time. It’s mind boggling that this incident had such a giant impact on my day to day life. It showed me that I just required some additional push to do as well as I could be expected to
The time I encountered failure occurred during my driver’s test failure. I experienced intense frustration due to possessing a strong sense of confidence and devoting days to practice beforehand and feeling prepared, but in reality, it was not the case. Everything started when my friends would text our group chat and discuss their accomplishment of passing their driving test and being able to drive with their permits. So when I observed them all successfully complete their driver’s test and ultimately being able to drive. I wanted to give it a try and eventually gain the capability to drive.
Failure is apart of life, it can make or break a person. When a person experiences a type of failure it is now up to them to see how they respond. They can choose the high road, and become a stronger person for it. Then they can choose the low road, the easy way out. The easy way out is never a good choice. It can lead only to destruction. The high road is the right choice to take when responding to failure. It will lead down a path of success. Jessica Lahey’s article, “When Success Leads to Failure” is an article that shows how kids are experiencing failure. Lahey says that, “these kids have a fear for failure, and that they have given up natural loves for learning. They are scared of not being successful”(Lahey). The truth is life is hard there will be failure. There is nothing in this world that comes easy to anyone.
The quote “Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing” by Denis Waitley is very inspiring. Failure is a necessary and fundamental part of life. Most people fail at least one point in their lives and these failures gives them character and depth. Failure does not mean you stop and give up. You get up and try again and use those failures to teach you about life and to develop your character.
What good can come out of failure? Throughout my 19 years of life, I have stumbled upon a significant amount of failures in everyday life. However, people often times have a bad connotation with failure leading to fear of taking risks because of the possibility of failure. Despite the fact of the average population heavily fears failure, with considerable help from my peers I view failure as life's greatest teacher, with possession of a positive attitude you can learn from your mistakes to ensure that you do not make the same mistake again. My dad always told me, “If you learn from your failure, you really haven’t lost.” This statement really defined the way my family and myself approached failure. With every failure was just another opportunity to learn from. Failure is a very
Failure happens when something isn't successful. Failure is a thing that all people can learn from. Failures can be used as lessons so that the failure will not be repeated again. One of my greatest failures in life that I've experienced and learned from would be from the time of my first grade year. I didn’t take school seriously when I was in the first grade and made terrible grades. After this failure, it made change the outlook on school and I started trying. I learned that I need to take school serious or else I will do bad in school. This failure lead to success in school and I started making good grades which will help later on in life.
The word failure has been given a negative connotation by our society. People are led to believe that when they fail at a task or sport it is shameful and should be kept a secret. Those who fail are called losers, failures or dummies, but failures are sometimes an effect of our own mistakes. This means we can learn ways to avoid them in the future and become more conscientious of our mistakes. We do
There used to be a time where students would have the responsibility of learning the material at hand by using their memories instead of depending on technology. Now, calculators do all the hard math problems, spell check takes care of grammar, and books are becoming fossils because who needs a book for research when you can have a siri? Kids used to be outside everyday playing sports or riding bikes, but now their eyes are attached to their video games, while their butts are glued to the couch. And don`t forget that in order to get a date people actually had to talk to each other face to face instead of relying on internet dating services or apps like Tinder. It`s hard to believe isn`t it? Society has become so dependent on technology that it wouldn`t know how to function without it. So the question at hand is, is smarter technology making us dumber? In this paper, the three perspectives being observed are how technology is depriving society of the ability to be mentally independent, how it is making people incapable to have a physical relationship with each other, and how people are being pushed into having an unhealthy lifestyle because of it.
