"Write about a time you failed at something. Did you try again or give up completely?"
________________________________________
Failure, one I am familiar with, one I face on a daily basis. Could be tiny, unable to wake up to the alarm to real serious, a gross error in reporting a number. It could be real, when I make a mistake, or perceived when I think missing to do something, like updating when I promise, or coming home at the time I said I would, and I am unable to do so. Failure could have reasons, could be unexplained. Failures could be ones where I am able to brush it aside in the light of a new day or could be those which keeps me up at nights, as I run the loop of how I could have avoided it and how I would be able to recover.
Failure is ugly for it is debilitating, more because of my personal judgement of myself rather than the world. Of course at times the world judges me a failure and I simply thumb my nose at it. Failure is real, it is perception; failure is stepping stone and at times it is a downward tumble. There are times when multiple failures do not stop me yet sometimes the fear of failing keeps me from starting.
However, I am not an accountant for nothing, all I want is that at the end of my time, the sum total of my success should just exceed the aggregate of my failures. Then, on Judgement Day, it could be said that I was not a failure.
