1.) During this semester I have failed in multiple instances, but when you think about it failure is actually good. I attempted to build a website this semester as a project for my internship. This project was set in place to see how far I could progress in a short deadline. My site was built off the idea of business venture in this class. A site that would globally help those whom are vegan or nutritional people have access to a website that would locate restaurants, grocery store, and even have a social media presence to see reviews for certain restaurants or the quality of certain grocery stores. I failed though in this process as I took my time to develop the website and seek perfection.
2.)What did I learn that is an easy question to answer. By failing I was able to see what I needed to do to perfect my work. Failing made me want to prove that I could accomplish what I failed upon. I realized not everybody is perfect and that failing is a part of life. And that you have to just brush off your shoulders and move on to a bigger and better idea.
3.)I used to be that person who if I would fail I would simply just give up and have that thought of not being good enough, but as I have grown up I realize now that failure is a great thing. I know that sounds crazy, but failure on an idea doesn't mean simply give up it means make the idea better and eliminate what caused you to fail before. I for one in this class have learned that risk are worth taking. By learning about the concept of being an actual entrepreneur it has shown that a lot goes into having a successful business concept, but that failure is common and just shows that its inevitable to not face failure at one point in your life.
Patrick,
ReplyDeleteI like how you started off your post by mentioning that failure can actually be a good thing, because it is very true. You can't improve if you don't learn from the mistakes you make. I never forget this, especially in college. College is a hard time in life and you have to except the fact that you're going to fail at least once, if not multiple times. I don't consider you not finishing your website in time failure, I consider it a way to learn/improve in life. To be honest, I don't like the word failure. I feel like it makes people feel down about themselves, but everyone makes mistakes! Great work!

Hello Patrick,
ReplyDeleteThis was a really great and insightful post! I feel that you took the best approach possible to failing in your instance. It can actually be really hard for some people to admit defeat or give up, but you realize that it is all a learning experience and that your initial failures will help you build upon what you are working on. Overall, great post!

Patrick,
ReplyDeleteSimilar to you I was that person that if I failed I would brush it off and never think of it again. But ever sense I have been in college, and learning more about the real world that mindset has changed. Now my failures act as a lesson and teach me how I should improve in the future. On another note I really love you idea of this website and think it could be very useful, maybe even be good if it was an app too.
