It was Thomas Edison who said he invented the lightbulb because he had previously invented 99 things that weren't a lightbulb. It was Oscar Wilde who said genius was 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. And it was someone else whose name escapes us who said 'We learn more from our mistakes than from our successes'. All true.

    I've actually failed many times. But I think the fact that I haven't given up is the real test. 18 February 2010, 01:41

    Failure

    One week, I was told to play pedal notes I couldn't play on bass trombone and trill with my voice, also impossible at the time. I failed spectacularly, but I didn't give up. 07 February 2010, 04:51

    FAIL!

    In relation to this action, and also to it's picture. I fought valiantly for the whole summer, trying to grow a beard. However, it is now September 3rd, and I have just shaved, for the only thing resembling a beard I managed to grow was a load of bum fluff that stubbornly straddled my chin. And let's not talk about the 'tache. 03 September 2009, 16:28

    Maths test


    Well, a few weeks ago a failed my maths paper 2 mock exam. This might not seem like a big deal but it is the first exam I have ever failed in my life - and with only a couple of months left in school too! Now the thing is I like maths. And I\'m good at it. But in my mock paper 1 I did really well so I thought I\'d be ok and didn\'t put the same amount of work in. Luckily I scraped an overall pass grade with the average of the two but I\'ve learnt my lesson - I am not a mathematical genius and I can\'t expect to succeed if I don\'t work hard!     27 March 2009, 15:34

    failing... or winning?


    A few weeks ago I left the teacher training course I was on. I was totally stressed out so much of the time, I couldn't sleep, I felt I was getting everything wrong all the time. Now I feel so much better. Some people, especially some family, were initially pretty negative about my devcision - "giving up now? you're quitting? you loser! you have no sticking power!" etc etc etc. But what I've learned is that giving up on stressing yourself out is REALLY REALLY GOOD FOR YOU!!     04 July 2008, 12:10
