Success and Failure - Personal Essay

Success is never final and failure never fatal; It’s courage that counts. I read this off of a fortune cookie one dreary Saturday evening.

Its not what the I can do for the Paul College its what the school of business can do for me.

If I turned the lights off while I was still here would you be scared, no you wouldn’t because you’re not afraid of the dark you’re afraid of being in the dark alone, but soon you will notice that you’re never alone

Failure is not something that people take easily when they are faced with it. Success cannot be produced without first experiencing failure. Failure is one of the greatest things you can experience as a young adult: teaching both patience and empowerment. Throughout my entire life I’ve experienced failure in different aspects of my life; from failing my first quiz, to failing to score on my last soccer match, failure has been prevalent throughout my life. Failure comes in many forms and is inevitable; as humans it is in our nature to fail.

I have faced more situations involving failure in the real world, it’s common to make mistakes, but you have to take each situation a step at a time:  live, learn, repeat. Throughout my life, I have learned to not stay focused on one event in life, this one incident doesn’t define me as a person, it doesn't keep me from succeeding. Failing in the real world has taught me that no matter the circumstances or the severity of the situation, I have to keep my head held high and continue my journey.
