Failing is one thing I experience a lot…I agree with you: “failing is an important part of living,” since I tend to learn much from past mistakes. I also know the feeling of failing in video games… ; A ;

Anyways~ This is a great post that really expresses the importance of failure.

I’m a middleschool teacher and I’m doing research over Christmas break about blogs in the classroom. I found Mrs. Yollis’ blog and then I found yours. This post about failure made me smile because everyone fails all the time and it’s so important to remember failing is just another way of learning – and learning rocks! You’re quite wise to figure this out so soon.

Thanks for showing me how students use blogs. Super helpful.

Sincerely,
Ms. Orion

I love that quote that you included by Edison! “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” I’ve never heard that before.

Failure is a part of life. I look at it as a learning opportunity. Sometimes you succeed and sometimes you don’t, but you always learn something from trying.

I loved your title, too. You’re funny!
