Dealing with Failure

“ Failure is not a fatal disease.”
Earl G. 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.
