However, our school systems doesn't encourage that, when we fail at school, we are labelled as stupid. Failing so many times is good because if you fail again, it doesn't affect you that much and you probably have nothing to lose. I am glad i came to realize this at a young age.

Embracing failure is part of succeeding. However, our school systems doesn’t encourage that, when we fail at school, we are labelled as stupid.

Failing so many times is good because if you fail again, it doesn’t affect you that much and you probably have nothing to lose.

I am glad i came to realize this at a young age.
Btw, you got a great site! keep it up!

There is a section where he mentions how he encourages students to fail, since they learn form their mistakes, thus making them have a greater chance at succeeding the next time. Paush noted that those who tend to fail are usually those who more than likely are willing to think outside of the box.

Like you I am pretty meticulous with what I do, so it is hard to just do things "half-assed". I will take your advice, try it out when possible, and see what happens. Honestly I can see this as being a habit that will be extremely hard for me to break, more so since personally I get annoyed when someone does something "half-assed".
