Failure
I have had a few failures this semester, one being the first draft of what our business would focus on fixing. The opportunity I focused on was very wide spread, effecting more than forty thousand Americans. I realized quickly this issue would be quite harder than what could be presented, the government would have to get involved to resolve this issue. After this realization, I had to switch gears pretty fast and figure out an opportunity that was more plausible.
Failure has taught me how easily a reasonable idea one day can seem completely ridiculous the next. I also learned that having back ups to your original idea is a smarter move. Brainstorming and keeping all of your ideas in one place can become very essential later when an issue arises. My initial reaction to failure is to be embarrassed but I find being critiqued can be important lessons on moving forward with an idea. After this semester my view of failure is different, I think I will be more welcoming to failure as it allows for growth.
