26A – Celebrating Failure

1) I have failed many times in my life and have used this as a way to build my confidence and not to give up. A time in my life when I failed was when I was taking my financial accounting quiz.  We are allowed to take these quizzes three times and every single time I thought I was going to do well and I ended up getting the same grade. I failed all 3 attempts at taking this quiz.
2)  I learned that it's okay to lose your footing sometimes and fail, it allows you to grow as a person and better yourself all around. Not everyone is good at everything and failure helps you see that in order to get what you want in life you have to get back up on your feet and keep trying.

3) Failure is hard, it takes away from you for a couple of hours and it's hard to take your mind off, but instead of using this as negative energy, use it as fuel to motivate you to do better next time. Emotionally it was hard not to doubt myself I was self conscious that I was stupid for a while when my friends would take about it and say they did well. But after a few days of feeling sorry for myself I got right back up and aced the next test. This class changed my perspective on failure, because it is hard to fail a class that is strictly on your own ideas and opinions. It's a very cool concept and it allowed me to gain confidence in my ideas.

    Natalie,
    I agree that you can't use failure negatively. You must motivate yourself to succeed and improve next time. I have also experienced this failure in financial accounting. I was so confused on how the computer program wanted the answers to be entered. I had the information write, but got the question wrong each time. I learned from this experience and learned how to properly enter the information before taking the final version. I am glad that this class has provided the confidence and reassurance in our ability to succeed through failure.

Your Entrepreneurship Story Hii my name is Natalie Belluccia and I am interested in entreperneurship I think that I have the creativity and motivation to have what it takes to be sucesssful. Im excited to see what this class has to offer and teach me. The one time of my life that stood out to me the most was when I was in high school and just started to get into 3D printing and robotics.  This experience was unique considering I built my own  3D printer from scratch with the help of my brother. After I had a intact printer I started testing things and playing around and I came up with the idea that I could sell the gadgets I printed. So I proposed this idea to the principle of my high school that during my lunch break I would sell 3D printed custom designed phone cases. People in my high school loved it and I was selling them like crazy! I enrolled in this class because I think that I have a future in entruepershup. I've always had the motivation and drive to pursue my...

13A – Reading Reflection No. 1

“Elon Musk” by Ashlee Vance What surprised me the most was the fact that he was that intelligent to create such a helpful product, he knew what the future needed in order to maintain a sufficient lifestyle.  His vivid imagination and extreme commitment allowed his dreams to come to life. I admire the fact that Musk was extremely committed to his ideas and made his dreams come to life. From an early age, even as a student Musk knew that he wanted to solve humanity's dependence on oil and create a safer environment for the future. He never gave up with dream and was committed to go broke while trying. He faced many dilemmas and problems that slowed him down but in the end he kept pushing forward which allowed him to be as successful he is today helping our environment and the future. I least admire that he was a big talker and promised things before he can make them happen. He would make promises and then takes years to come up with a solution. I think that a part of succe...
