Failing is one of my biggest fears, and I can imagine many people share my fear. Failure is embarrassing and can make you look like you don't know what you're doing. I've tried to handle my failure better in recent years, I used to get extremely defensive and would fight about failure but as I've grown I've become better at handling failure. Whenever I fail now I still get defensive like before but I do a better job of not speaking out and talking about why I failed so I can make adjustments and do better next time. After taking this class I wouldn't say I'm more likely to take a risk in everything but I definitely will take more risks when talking to people or when trying to network.

26A Celebrating Failure
A failure that stands out to me from this past semester would have to be my first exam for Principles of Management, I didn't fail the exam I just didn't do as good on it as I'd hope. I studied my lecture notes and the smokin notes but still didn't perform as well as I thought. After the first exam, I learned that my professor pulls most of her information straight from the book and not the lectures. So on the second exam, I was sure to adjust how I studied and made sure I went over the chapters and the vocabulary associated with them.

I had a moment like this, I paid for Study Edge and still did poorly on my exam anyways. I realized I had to study the way the professor tests and on the next exam my grade increased significantly. Failure is embarrassing initially, but if we take advantage of these failures and take them as a lesson. This class has also made me way more risky than I once was.
