Celebrating Failure - 26A

There was a time this semester that I failed to properly carry out a task at work which led to some serious disarray and loss of work time. It had been a late night and I simply forgot to do something and heard a lot about it the next day at work. Fortunately, I was able to right the situation and once again get on the good side of my manager. I learned that no matter how tired you are or how long of a day you've had, its vital that you make a list of tasks that you need to accomplish. In that regard, you will never forget to do something. That night, I was simply too lazy to take inventory and make a premeditated list.

In that situation, I dealt with my own failure by behaving in such a way to show my manager that I was sorry for my mistake and then I dealt with it by finishing what I had failed to do. Emotionally, I was resigned to the fact that it was 100% my fault and had to deal with the consequences of my actions.

As far as my willingness to repeatedly fail in the journey to success, I feel that I am much more apt to take on risk or additional tasks that pose a large probability of failure. In that way, I can fail hundreds of times to discover that one right method.
