Permission to fail:
I believe that many people give
themselves permission to fail over and over again. Most people that I come in
contact will also say that they are going to do something and never quite
follow through. I am one that does not like to do so. When I want something I
will try over and over again. I feel as though I am like this because I am an
art major and enjoy seeing my work progress and get things done. My friends on
the other hand, put things aside. If they need to study for a math exam they
will get distracted and end up just hanging out with each other. When they see
me do my work they become very surprised. My friends never really thought being
an art major was difficult. Time to time I will bring my friends to help me
install projects and they become very shocked. Its like they never thought what
I did was time consuming or “hard.” I enjoy their reactions because they see
that I am a motivated individual but in a completely different way. I am one to
stay in on a Friday and Saturday night to finish an assignment if I know that
it will stress me out during the week and not many of my friends understand
this matter because they would rather study for their entire exam in one day
and not do too well than miss a party. In this situation they are setting
themselves up for failure too easily.
Coming from
a motivated family, I do not like when people do give themselves permission to
fail. I like to see everyone follow through and live above and beyond.
