Favorite Failures, Sorry Successes, and Other Observations
People often report learning
more from failure than from success. Our most important and
meaningful
experiences tend to result from obstacles overcome, confusions endured, pains
withstood, risks taken, rather
than from clear goals, smooth sailing, and predictable rewards.
These are the experiences that lead us to
redefine our very
definitions of "success" and
"failure."
Below are some personal stories and observations of students, alums,
faculty, deans, and others at the
University. Some of the stories on this page could be titled
"My Favorite Failure" and some "My Sorry Success."
All of them
invite us to consider and reconsider our notions of success and failure.
