Question of the Day

[ayoub]

Would you rather push yourself and learn from failure, or stay steady and fail less often?

push. or else how would you learn?

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Yup!

i'm not afraid of failing.it's worst not trying.from failure you can learn something and succeed later,but not trying you don't learn nothing and you don't get anywhere...

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Definitely...

I push myself but I'd rather learn from success then failure ... but I guess if we fall we only have up to go .... it just hurts so damn much ... but pain lessens. I just personally do not like failure or accept it. I'd like to fail less often but then it would mean I was doing less and reaching for less too.

You're a perfectionist baby :)

Pushing and succeeding as often as you do is a very special gift :D

They do say though, that there is more to be learnt from failure than success...

Hmmm. Me, personally, I don't like to think of failure as failure. I think that mistakes are just a series of steps on the road to perfection. So really, there are no mistakes. Just things that grow to perfection over the course of time and, of course, practice practice practice.

Hmmm. I think that it depends on the situation. I think that steadiness has its place, but after a while it can stagnate if change is not put into action. For me there is a time for steadiness and a time for change. It's really only a matter of recognizing which is necessary.
There is an occult saying that I try meditating on a lot. It goes, "change is stability and stability change." Kind of reminds me of the human body. If the heart stops the body dies.

Yes, it does...

Good answer!

if you dont push, you wont learn your limits and you wont grow you will just stay the same

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Sometimes it's hard to push yourself though...

[xjenavivex.livejournal.com]

i never stop pushing

just keep swimming swimming swimming

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Good answer :)

Push myself . . . I've either leared or taught someone else who needed help with the lesson, too. If we live our lives without learning, are we really living?

Learning every day makes life worthwhile...

I'm a "What If" person. So, if I were to choose the latter, I'd spend my life wondering what whould have happened if I had pushed myself. Sure, I would have risked failure, but, as the philosopher Jagger said: "You can't always get what you want. But if you try sometime you just might find, you get what you need."

Sage verbage from the big lipped dude!

[evergladesqueen.livejournal.com]

Enough failure for me. I'm staying steady and failing less.
*hugs*

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

That isn't a happy thought, for some reason B...

[kalquessa.livejournal.com]

The latter. To a crippling degree, actually. I'm getting better at risking failure, though. It takes time when you're as afraid of it as I am.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Why are you so afraid?

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

When you push yourself, the risk of failure is higher though...
