Have you messed up recently? Not achieved the right grades or had a cringe-worthy interview? Did friends pat you on the back and reassuringly murmur, ‘Let it go, don’t worry about it’, ‘Be resilient’, ‘Failure’s not a bad thing – it’s all part of the learning curve’? We are constantly being told failure can actually be a positive But are you on board with this whole ‘failure is good for you’ thing? Recent research indicates that many of us are not and that comments like these are overly simplistic In light of this, we asked four of our reporters from different departments how they feel about the topic There might be a few surprises! Molls Pickering HEALTH Ethan Knowles SPORTS Well, no one likes to fail, do they? If you Something struck a chord with me the put your heart and soul into something, other day I was interviewing a local you don’t want to be told it isn’t good football manager, an intelligent guy, on enough But I think the whole attitude to failure has the subject of criticism – and we all know football changed over the last fifty years, and in a good way managers get their fair share of that! He admitted If we treat our failures as learning opportunities and really resenting it and the sense of failure it brought, not something to be ashamed of, we are going to make however constructive it was intended to be In fact, he strides going forward in every aspect of our lives resented it so much that if it hadn’t been for his love of from learning at school, pursuing a career – even in the game, he would have thrown in the towel early on relationships My memories of the shame I felt when He made the point that most humans probably feel the I failed school tests contrast dramatically with the way same, although we have been conditioned to accept teachers used my son’s failings to help him achieve criticism, and try to respond gratefully when we success Fear of failing can also entrap you and prevent receive it I could see where he was coming from, and I you from taking risks But for the intervention and started to analyse my own reactions to being criticised encouragement of my son’s drama teacher, he would (self-reflection being very on trend at the moment!) never have risked going into acting So, for me the idea They are mixed If I do my best and then get a critical is spot on It definitely rings true Failing can, and reaction, the feeling of failure can be galling After all, should, be a positive in that it makes you reassess and human beings are inherently self-centred creatures: perhaps change tack, and I think this generation of we like to be liked, to be right, to succeed, to be praised young people are much better at dealing with it than However, I also realised that as long as the person mine was criticising me was someone I admired or respected, I was OK with it – at least to a certain extent … Kate Quinn ARTS Jay Masters BUSINESS I might be flying in the face of popular opinion and the results of numerous I, for one, simply cannot stand all these studies, but I simply cannot go along with vacuous comments and sweeping the fashionable belief that failing is almost something statements we get on social media, like to be pleased about because it allows you to learn and ‘Failing is part of the journey.’ I promise you, if I hear progress from what you’ve done wrong OK, to me it the word ‘journey’ once more in this context, I’m going makes sense that we shouldn’t dwell on failure because to lose it And as for ‘failure is good for you’, it’s simply that is – in itself – negative, and if we were to get hung up a saying that most definitely is not always true I admit about all our mistakes, we would probably get nowhere there is often an element of truth in there somewhere, in life But, the old saying – try, try, try again – assumes but people overuse these phrases and treat them as that persistence will help you succeed This is not if they’re completely valid for all situations They trot necessarily true at all It might be that however hard you out these trite phrases regularly to explain or excuse try, however often you fail, you are not going to succeed whatever they’ve done or not done For me, it’s not just because what you’re trying to achieve lies outside your that they are way too oversimplistic, but were we to ability, or talent It bugs me when I hear people saying analyse them, we’d probably find some that are often that anyone can do anything, should they want it hard actually wrong: complete fallacies Failure is so often enough Rubbish! It is patently not true Give it a good go, NOT good for you It can have dire consequences: knock but give up if you clearly don’t have what it takes Had your confidence, lead to disasters, rob you of a job, I not accepted that I wasn’t cut out to be a crime writer lose you money Honestly folks, whatever the trendy (seventy-one rejection letters!), I wouldn’t be enjoying psychologists say, success is definitely better And the rewards of being a reporter now! We need to get real encouragement to prepare better, in order NOT to fail, about failure and think about what it is really telling us is surely the best way forward 9 Unit 1 | Lesson A GRAMMAR PRONUNCIATION 6 A 1.01 if in natural speech Listen to a conditional forms sentence from the article being spoken at 5 A Complete the examples from the article with the correct words natural speed What do you notice about the pronunciation of the word if?
