Chances and Failure
Failure is something every person on the planet deals with. Whether it is with failing a test, missing that final goal, getting a job, or even asking a person on a date. Failure is a key component in life. I believe it’s something more people need to do. One of my teachers always preaches religiously “Fail early, and fail often.” That is something I personally have taken to heart. Although I am a very charismatic and outgoing person, I still struggle with talking with girls because I am afraid of rejection. Something I have discovered though is, failure is pretty cool. Although I may look like an idiot or stupid or just flat out embarrassed I learned something that day. Maybe that I used the wrong formula, that I shouldn’t kick the ball a certain way, I should do a better job on my resume, or not be so forward, I learned something in the long run. So to all three of you that may read this here me out when I say taking a chance isn’t bad. And if you fail, you learn and will get it right next time. Don’t forget too, taking the chance and succeeding, well it’s just that much better.
