- The time I felt like I failed this pass semester was when I was not able nearly go to the gym as much as I liked. I had made it my new years resolution to make an effort to go to the gym more and have a healthier lifestyle, but I really have not satisfied that resolution at all. I have work and class, which keeps me busy until the evening and by that point I just want to go home and do either homework or be lazy.
- The main thing I learned from this experience is that I need to be more disciplined with my schedule. It is just an extra hour of my time, which I definitely can spare. I learned that I need to stick to my promises and not just say empty words. I also learned that I really need to find the motivation to actually get to me the gym.
- I would say that I am a guy who really does not take failure well. I have a tendency to be hard on myself and consistently focus on why I failed rather than coming up with solutions and staying positive. I also happen to be someone who learns best from failure as a result. Because I tend to think about and analyze my failure so a longer period of time, I usually end up changing what I failed in and never fail again in the same thing. This class really is not as inspirational as the post instructions suggest. It did not really teach me anything about failure. I just wrote posts.

26A - Celebrating Failure

Hi Arman,
ReplyDeleteI must give kudos to anyone that even goes to the gym! I also have a hard time motivating myself to exercise, but recently my self-discipline has been getting better. A few weeks ago I decided I was going to start running. Instead of viewing the task as a pass or fail, start thinking more about the little successes. I find that makes a different in how I approach exercising – this way I can congratulate myself for getting out of the house and jogging a block instead of discouraging myself from going outside all together.
Hello,
ReplyDeleteI had the same failure. I made it a resolution that I was going to go consistently but ended up not going even though I had the time and then late in the semester I started to go and broke my pinky so cant go. I agree that we have to be disciplined and make sure that we are strong minded.
Hi, Arman! I can definitely attest to failing to go to the gym. On my list of failures this semester, I definitely have that on there. Discipline plays a big part in that for me as well. It can be so easy to have aspirations and goals but it's a completely different thing to actually follow through on them. All I can say is that I hope you learn from them, and better luck next time.
