This week there was mention of failures. Which in the week of Journey of Gratitude, seems funny. No one wants to fail. It can be a tough pill to swallow. However, I know throughout my life I have been taught that failure can make greatness. So the mention of failure this week really is good. We must be grateful for our failures, so that we can become better from them. In both Haykin's case study reading and Larry North, neither of their experience with failure seemed to be very pleasant. However, they both learned from them and almost seemed accepting that it happened. Granted with time the sting from the failure I'm sure faded a bit, but both men talked openly and frank about them. Sign of a true learner. Accepting the outcome of an event and taking away what they could. Understanding where they messed up and the effect it had on them and those around them.
Failure is something that truly has always kept me from trying new things. Repeating a failure is even worse for me. I have a long way to go and need to build that self confidence to be able to accept those failures and prepare myself better for them. Because they are out there and will happen again.
