Celebrating Failure
So this semester I decided that I was going to drop business finance. This is because I basically failed the first exam and considering the entire grade is based off of 3 exams essentially I did not have time to make it back up without doing extremely well on the other 2 exams. I know that I could do well in the class but I did not put in the effort necessary to succeed and that was my fault. Now I have a better understanding of what I need to do to do well in the class so that when I take it next semester I can get an A. I think that failure is necessary. No one is every amazing at something the first time they try it. They may be naturally gifted in it but they are never the best and need practice. In order to be successful in anything you have to fail and learn from it. I handle failure very well, I ask why I failed, I learn from it and move on. I do not think this class has really changed my idea of failure.

Steve,
ReplyDeleteThat's a great attitude to keep about it! Finance is a really tough class, but now that you've started it, you'll be prepared for next semester. Also, just a tip for the class, make sure to take Tutoring Zone or Study Edge and practice as many of his practice problems as possible, and you'll be fine.

I have had the same experience as you but with a calculus class instead. The one thing I have learned from taking the class over again is that you need to do the work that they assign. Just because it is not assigned or a huge part of your grade, it is immensely helpful and greatly improves your understanding of the material. Here’s a link to my blog if you would like to check it out.
