I stress the importance of failure in all areas of life. Everything from learning a new sport to meeting women. When you're not failing I figure it's because your goals are not audacious enough and you're just playing it safe. Thanks for sharing the post.

I recall from my years in school from elementary school and high school and even University. We were always told to get good grades, and how not passing a grade was bad for us. But I ask, isn't the education system overdoing it and putting people into fear and not allowing them to grow as a person and shine? Instead they keep people at the level of trying to reach perfection and not being able to try something new or better because the fear of failure. Also, failing a course shouldn't be viewed as a bad thing. It just means you are not interested or passionated about it, at least in my opinion. Easier said than done.

It may be real corny but you can always learn a life lesson out of something negative, something to learn for the future. Putting a positive spin on a situation is always the best way to look at it.

Better to allow yourself to have a few little mistakes early on in the course, and be able to self-correct by the time you get to the exam. Acknowledge a mistake or weakness early on, ask your prof for help, then you have more room to move forward. Don't be a perfectionist if it keeps you from trying, expanding, testing new knowledge, etc. One good step, although it sounds cliche, is to allow yourself not to be perfect.
