Failure is Another word for Motivation

Some aspects of college that I feel that I am failing probably has to be my math class. I don’t know why I feel like I’m failing. I never was the one that got math it took time for me to comprehend it. It was something that I have always struggled the most with all the way from 6^th grade to now in college. Even though I have been so far successful in passing and completing math, I feel that now since I am in college it’s more on me to teach myself math which is a difficult task because a person like me who dislikes math and struggles cant self teach a subject that they don’t have “passion”. However I know that I have to over come this feeling of doubt and how to be more active in class by asking more questions and going to the professor’s office hours.

Here are some points that I found online about overcoming failure

1.     Learn from your mistakes and failures.

2.     Don’t dwell on it.

3.     Don’t be afraid to try again.

7.     Surround yourself with positive people.

8.     Talk to others (or read)

1.     Mobilize your fear.

With these steps you rare sure to over your fear of failing and being successful.
