26A: Celebrating failure

1). The most recent failure I’ve had is in my principles of management class (MAN3025). This class which it supposed to be relatively easy has become a challenge for me. The first failure was my first exam where I made a 76. Although it’s not a failing grade, it is a mediocre grade which I do not accept and consider it a failure. I believe I studied quite a lot for that exam and honestly thought I was going to get a better grade. I was disappointed for the result so I decided to change my study strategy. I bought SmokinNotes, did more extra credit, and started studying a little earlier. Little did I know that I would make a 72 on my second exam. I am totally disappointed at these results so for the third and final exam, I will take it up a notch. I will devote my entire week before the exam to this class. Third time’s a charm.
2). I’ve learned that to obtain the result you desire, you have to put in the time and effort it requires. Often times, we’re overconfident in our abilities that we fail to recognize the difficulty a task or event needs.
3).  I believe that failure is necessary to succeed. We all have failed in our lives on different levels. It’s that failure that makes stronger and wiser. Handling failure can be difficult sometimes; It makes you doubt of yourself and your abilities. Personally, I handle failure as a lesson to become better, whether is academically, professionally, or emotionally. I try to learn from the mistakes I made so I can minimize the possibilities of that failure occurring again.

I think this class has changed my perspective on failure because it has taught that failure is inevitable. It is going to happen no matter what. Some might have bigger failures than others but everyone is going to fail somehow in their lives, and definitely in their business ventures. But it is that failure that enable us to learn and become better. Therefore, I more likely to take a risk because I know that without failure, it is extremely difficult to succeed.

    Hello Nicolas, I hope you have had an great thanksgiving holiday! After reading your post, I realized that this type of failure is very similar to mine in the sense of how I as well talked about a difficult class that I took before. In addition, I like the way you explain that failure is necessary to succeed because it gives you lessons on how to improve for the next opportunity. Great post!

2A: BUG LIST

Bug List During summer time in Gainesville, it rains almost every day because of the subtropical climate Gainesville has and possibly global warming During rush hours in Gainesville, SW 20th Avenue in Gainesville gets congested because people are getting off work and it's a two-lane road. Sometimes, my dad does not answer my calls during the day because he's either working or have his phone on vibrate  Southwest Recreational Center is always so packed between 5-8 pm because most of the students have finished classes by that time and most students are motivated at the start of the semester to reach their fitness goals Rude costumers at Publix which is where I work.
