Celebrating Failure

1. The only time that I could think that I failed sometime this semester was playing Capture the Flag and when I was running I slid on the wet grass and face planted. I got up with the massive headache while walking to the outzone until I was tagged back in. We won the game in the end but after the game I had scratches all up my legs. I guess that's what I get for playing something that I haven't played in a long time. My arms and legs were sore that entire weekend afterwards.

2. I learned that no matter how hard you failed when trying to run towards a goal, as long as you have a team and keep trying you can make that goal during some point if you work together.

3. I think failure sucks but without it I would get complacent. I really don't show much emotion towards failure I just keep quiet and keep trying until I need to say something. This class has taught me that failure is good. It shows that your on your way to something greater and that takings risks can be what life is all about.

    Hello Joseph, ha ha funny pic!! I have always loved Seinfeld. I can imagine that you felt embarrassed when you totally face planted in Capture the Flag. What I really like though is how your 'failure" tied into the success for the entire team, eventually winning the game. I think this is the biggest lesson that we learn from playing on teams -- so important in life. Win or lose, it's the battle or actual journey that teaches us the most valuable lessons. Good luck!

    Hi Joseph. I definitely know what it's like to fall face first in front of people. I'm a dancer and one of my last performances in high school I went to hit the final pose, but I slipped and fell right on my face. It definitely sucked but like you said, I took the risk of dancing in front of all my peers. And you're right, that's what life is all about.

    Joseph,
    I'm sorry to hear that you took quite the hard spill. That sounds like it really hurt!! On the plus side, I'm glad that that was your biggest failure, because there is much worse out there haha Your #2 point made me laugh when you were talking about running towards a goal! It's clear that you are positive, resilient, and lighthearted. These are all qualities that I believe entrepreneurs need to possess. Great job on this assignment.
