Graves, magazine publisher. I am a volunteer teacher in an adult GED program. On the first day o f class I tell students that our class room is a "safe house,” a place where we come to learn, where we can feel good about ourselves and com fort able about making mistakes. 1 ex plain to them that we learn, grow and get better by making mistakes. I tell them they must trust me and their fellow students and we are to support one another in ours goals. So many o f the students have a negative self-image, viewing them selves as failures, that it takes a while for them to let go and relax. Many carry the excess baggage of past disappointments, things that didn’t work out or circumstances that they are currently attempting to improve. Humans are creatures of habit. We do things over an over again not realizing that if we want change in our lives, we have to think and act differently. One thing we have to do is change how we view success and failure. Failure is not fatal nor does it have to be final! Failure is part and parcel o f the success process. We just have to learn to embrace our mistakes, errors and failures and glean the lessons from them that will enable us to do better in the future. Everyone makes mistakes. I tell students the reason erasers are put on the end o f pencils and delete keys are installed on keyboards is be cause people make mistakes. When we make a mistake, an error or do something inappropriate, we should acknowledge it to ourselves or if someone brings it to our attention, we should take note of it. Failure, mistakes, setbacks and errors are how we learn. We either learn from our own mistakes or from those made by others. The thing we have to understand about failure is that success is virtu ally impossible without some degree of failure at some point. Failure is an integral part o f the success process. You cannot suc ceed in the long haul without fail ing, making mistakes or miscalcu lations. When you make a mistake (I say when, as opposed to if because the only people who don’t make mis takes are those that are already dead or those that never attempt any thing), learn from it and do better next time. Ifyou are in a situation that didn’t turn out the way you planned, re view what happened, reexam ine your role in it and the ro le o f others. D on’t cast blame, simply look for the les sons in it. Look for ways you can resolve what went awry.
