Still feeling the reading fatigue thing last night but I made myself read a chapter of "The Last Lecture". Sigh. Just started reading and tears had already been shed. Making it the last book to read is a good decision. Read a bit of "Fire and Hemlock" in the afternoon.
Today's post will be a semi On This Day post because there was something important in the 2010 post that I have to remind myself again.
Failure is not something to be ashamed of. I can learn more from failure than success. To do that I have to acknowledge the failure to myself.
Currently, I'm not really in the state of mind that will say I fully think this way but... I do think I'm more accepting to failure, 11 years later. I might sound like a defeatist - maybe it is like that - but I don't think I am. I'm more of a positive pessimist. I also keep an experimental attitude (if you can call that a thing).. I guess it's not a stretch to say that I live by trial and error, a method that forces you to learn from failures. Or I'm just plain stubborn.
I'll never learn. I always fail at giving up things. I keep finding myself trying again the next day... until I get what I want.
