@hugono3938 Part of being an adult is doing things you don't want to do so this will prepare you to be able to force yourself to do things that every ounce of your soul say you don't want to do. It's a hard lesson.

@miranda.cooper Wise words. Don't let other people impose their shit in you. They may think their intentions are good but it doesn't mean they are correct in what they are doing. They way you are approaching it is the best way. I learned that when you feel pressure to hurry up you should slow down so the pressure doesn't overwhelm you and cause you to screw up completely.

@Heyu7her3 Wrong. You are always human so you will always fail sometimes whether you are old or young. Expect failure so you will always be prepared when it happens. It doesn't mean that life is over. It is a step towards even greater achievement even if you can't see it at that moment .

@iRobins. Yes. I'm much older and schools have become more enlightened since I went. People who "flunked" were looked on as losers at that time. It was so ignorant. I'm glad you don't look at it like that. Failing is just a stepping stone to greater achievement and teaches you humility and compassion which are big lessons for a successful life. I had to figure that out alone through emotional pain. Not a good way.

@lainiwakura6903 The "failure is bad" mindset was sincerely pushed on children by teachers and parents until they became more enlightened, relatively recently. I'm 60 and anyone in my class who failed was considered less than the ones who passed. I failed math 30 in my senior year, because of family problems, and felt like a "failure" for that. It was only years later that I found out that many many people fail math 30 the first time they take it. It is a very challenging course with an enormous amount of content. Taking it at the same time as Physics 30 was too much for me and very understandably overwhelming. It was not right to make me feel like I was less than others because of my one failure. I was not taught how to deal with failure what so ever. I'm very glad that people now understand that failure is part of the road to success because that was not a belief I was taught at all. I went to public school like everyone did and further to college. Failure was never thought of as acceptable. Even today my brother looks down on me for failing that class. He's an ignorant asshole but that is another story. 🤷😄
