Failure is a lack of success. However, even though failure is embarrassing, and awful, it is a great way to learn. When you fail, you can learn what you did wrong and how to do it better next time. I think it is better to completely fail on something, and do it better next time, then to do it kind of right and then just be average. In any business, things will go wrong, and the owners will fail at least once. The only thing you can do is just move forward and learn from these failures.

26A - Celebrating Failure
Every semester has its ups and downs. Typically, I see myself conduct one huge failure per semester, whether it be a forgotten assignment, missed deadline, or problems with my students as a TA. This semester, I have had a few failures in my courses. For some reason, I keep forgetting to submit my CAPSIM assignments for International Business, and I have been failing to submit some of my assignments for this course. I usually do not forget assignments, but I keep failing to take the time to do the cupcakes and end up taking the grade hit on them. I have learned a great amount about myself this semester, and how effected I am by my incapability to complete assignments on time. I learned that I am not the type of person to do things late, and that I need to get myself back together and start being more productive. Going forward, I am making an effort to be proactive about my studies, and to make sure my work is turned in on time.

Melissa, It was interesting reading this assignment because I can totally relate with you. In this class, I forgot to submit the URL of two posts one week which was frustrating. In addition to that, I also agree with your perspective of failure. Failure is necessary to learn and become better. As you said, the only thing we can do is learn from them and move forward.
