I know it will sound like such a cliche' but we really do learn from our mistakes. If we don't, well there is always something we can take away from it.
I am not a person who deals well with failure. Mainly because I always tried to be reasonably good at everything I ever tried. Like sport. I was a huge fan of a lot of sport's when I was younger. Especially baseball, football, soccer, skipping, hoola hooping, sprinting, hurdles...well you get the point.
Then in school. I chose subjects I thought I would be interested in. Modern history, legal studies, economics. I was right. I was good at them. I dropped legal studies later on for fashion classes but I always found legal a little too easy for my liking. Too good, yah know?
But recently I have had to fail at things. Like Broadcast. It is a class all about the news and radio. And I had no choice after bad circumstances of being ill and missing too many classes, too having a bad group and being left on my own to do a huge assignment to just being too stressed with too much work. I will admit, I spent about two hours crying, burnt myself with my hair straightener because I could barely see too. But after some kind words from Dad and my supportive boyfriend, I realized I would take the subject again and totally rule it.
My Dad would say I fail at drinking. But I classify my drinking habits and drunken tendencies as wins. Sorry Dad.
But really, in life, we all win, we all lose. Sometimes. I know it is hard to sometimes say you have failed or lost. And in the end the hardest part is not disappointing someone else, but disappointing yourself. From my experience, you just need to learn to take a deep breathe, wipe away the running mascara, plaster on a smile and keep on truckin'.
Keep truckin'
