Success has within it some failure markings. Those who had the most shots in life had the most misses. All what needs to be done is to be able to turn failure into fertiliser of success. Failure is not a result, never a destination but a positive feedback of where we went wrong. A break which let us star afresh more careful.

What I find extremely elegant is your desire to take a postgraduate program (in Poli Sci nonetheless!) in a foreign country in a language you barely spoke (out on a whim?). How did you come to that decision? Did you just wake up and decide to do so? .-= Bytta @151 Days Off´s last blog ..Day 25: Being 37 is Sexy =-.

That is a pretty cool story… At least you tried and that is that, no failure as far as I can see!

I like ths saying “If at first you don’t suceed, try, try again” as it does not mention the word fail, which is ultimately a negative word. Not succeeding is not anything to be ashamed of and I love the fact that things worked out.

I have endlessly not succeeded as planned but have almost always learned something from the situation that helped in a future success…. Life will never be linear and if it was it would be darn boring.

This is going to seem a bit of a tangent, but you should check out the British sport rugby (the forerunner to American Football).

Every move ends in failure — getting squashed — effectively, except a winning score or occasionally a pass.

I realized suddenly it was all about failing for the team. Perhaps not elegantly! ;)

learning languages is hard. I’m always impressed with how so many Europeans can speak 2-3 languages. I agree failure is scary and it takes courage to get back up and keep going. It’s always great looking back and seeing what we’ve been able to overcome.
