1) A time I failed during this semester was the first exam I took in MAN3025. I studied very hard but did not study properly. I put a lot of time in effort into studying for an exam I thought I was going to do well on but I got a 70 and realized I was not studying properly even though I was studying hard.
2) What I learned what this experience was to buy Smokin' Notes. With a hectic schedule that offers very little downtime, I learned that instead of taking the time to create my own study guides and file through an entire tests worth of material to study such as homework's, lectures, and the text, I could just buy the this supplement that puts it all in one place for me and is way for detailed than I was.
3) Failure is very hard. You never want to receive unfavorable results for something you put a lot of time and effort into in hopes of achieving success. When dealing with failure I find myself to get down on the initial results, but after reflection and thought I find myself no longer reminiscing on the previous results but preparing myself to achieve success next time around by trying to methods and putting in more time and effort to ensure an increase in performance from previous results. This class has solidified to me that most people fail and most ideas fail but it is crucial to reaching success. If you don't fail it means you didn't try hard enough. Companies fail thousands of times before they create a hit product, this has increased my willingness to take risk because I am not as scared to fail as I was before this class.
Matt,
ReplyDeleteGreat job on your post! I can relate to your failing example. It is difficult to determine the best way to study for a new class. I agree there are great resources ti avoid this type of failure from happening in the future. It's important to not dwell on mistakes of the past and instead focus on correcting them in the future. I agree this class has shown us that failure is very common and not something to be ashamed of.
