Celebrating Failure

I'm a person with a good bit of anxiety, and therefore stay in my comfort zone if possible. A realm in which I fail pretty frequently is beating my friend valence at basketball. I can get him sometimes but most of the time he wins, or his team does at least. He's just quicker and better overall. He is also 29 so thats 10 years experience. I stop him better than most other ive seen at SW though. With this failure as well as the others I run across in life, I tend not to even think of them as failures. Just learning how to life better. Yes life is a verb there. I just learn to play different and mostly with more confidence when i play with Valence or anyone who is good and pushes me. Life is a series of chances. Do it. Bye.

    Hi Brian,

    I agree with your statement that failures are just a part of living life. Ultimately the most important part of failing is how you improve and change as an individual.

    However, I would recommend that you try to find some larger and more relevant failures in your recent experiences. It's perfectly human to fail, but I think you'll get more out of this assignment if you find an instance during which you truly failed some measure of expectations and had to learn from that experience.

    Just a thought.

    Hiya there Brian

    I not only agree but I can feel exactly what you feel. Failure is a part of living life and in certain fields you face that reality everyday, Your example isn't something I completely related to though, some of a more grand aspect would make sense to talk about and how you bounced back from it.
