How Do Students Learn From Their Failures?

“If you got it, ask yourself why and try to repeat the action. If you failed, ask yourself why and try to learn from the experience.” - Dale Carnegie



Can you have omelette without breaking the eggs? Can you have success without facing failures? Of course, not. People treat failure as a stigma which is unfortunate. In fact, man learns many things from several failures and ultimately evolves as a successful person. It is basically because; man treats every failure as a learning opportunity for his progress and prosperity.

Students usually live in their reel life as long as they are in educational institutions. They will understand the real life only when they enter into employment. There are certain things students should learn while in educational institution itself as it helps them to face the challenges at the workplace squarely.

They should learn to prepare a resume about their failures. They should first list out number of failures they encountered in their lives and should write down how they overcame from failures. Did they fail in different areas? Did they fail due to their own mistakes or due to the forces arising out of external environment? The process helps in analyzing the reasons for failures and taking corrective steps. It enhances their thinking, analytical and problem solving skills. In addition, it helps them in learning certain lessons in their lives. They can fail differently but not at the same thing several times. It makes them to think in a more realistic and practical manner. The takeaways out of their failures will help them in facing the real challenges in the corporate world with more confidence and courage.

Remember the fact that everyone has their own share of failures. If there are no failures in life, it indicates that people did not risk anything in their lives. Not to have taken a risk is also a risk. Students should learn to risk and try whatever possible as they are young and energetic. They can rise even if they fail as they are filled with energy and enthusiasm.

Always remember one thing in life there are no problems but only opportunities. Every problem offers some prospects in disguise. Students should be able to spot and tap for their advantage.

Life is not a cakewalk. It is a circus with highs and lows. Students should not get elated with success and should not get dejected when faced with failures. They must be in a position to take the challenges in their stride.

To sum up, as exercise is to your body, problems are to your mind and failures are to your success.
