Lets' fail together!

Hello,

It has been a long time since I have followed up with my posting but I have had the unforgetable fortune of bieng sick. So here is my comback thoughts that I have dwelled on while lying in bed during the days.

As summer school begin's for me I have realized that I have to step up my game, and yet again i make those never ending promises to myself to "go for the gold" "this year is going to be different" "this is gonna be a 90% avg year" and year after year after year, it seems that these plans are nearly made of fragile glass. Thinking along these lines I started to ponder about failiure... not just failiure in academics but other aspects in life. All these questions that I have been asking took me to the inner root of my problem: The fear of failing. Another great example is when you are sitting in class, the prof asks a question. You know the answer but will not answer it because you have a fear of it bieng wrong and look like a fool among your fellow peers.

As a youth, I cant speak for most people, but I remeber bieng ridiculed and made fun of due to the fact that you were unable to get certain grades or be smart. Always notice how the teachers always liked the students who were smart but never paid attention to the students that were getting poor grades. While growing up, i was never told to make mistakes in life, it was always if you do it, it has to be right the first time around. The teachers never encouraged making mistakes in class nor any activity that would divulge and not make students feel less intellectual then thier peers. Further more, this diseas of not making mistakes limits our ability to grow as individuals and tap into our eutopia of infinite beauty.

I have myself in 100% of the cases have come up with great ideas but will never follow through. Alot of people should realize that it is not the lack of motivation that handicaps a person but it is the fear of failing that stops them from proceeding. I remember last year, anh bilal and myself were trying working on a business plan (keyword "trying" hehe) and I remember we got books from the library, and we had these big discussions about how to not make any mistakes because this has to be it. The fear of failing was coming at us at full force that we handicapped ourselves to go for the gold.

In short i have only one favor ask to ask you. I dare you to make a mistake. I dare you to fail and see that your plans are not great. I dare you to feel the essence of failiure and beat. Cause only knowing these feelings/experience will lead to your growth of ultimate success in what ever you want to do in life.
