1. This and last semester I have taken up playing the guitar. As many fellow musicians may know, playing the guitar doesn't happen from night to day, it's a lot of practice. In particular I was trying to learn the song "All I Want" from Kodaline. The song is not very hard, but I was struggling with the strumming pattern. I kept on getting really close, but could not get the rhythm and the timing right. It was almost painful, to keep going and just failing. Eventually, after many weeks it started to come together.
2. What I learned was that practice doesn't make perfect, but it can get you close. Persistence, on the other hand is what will allow you to achieve your goal
3. Failure is the worst. I think like many people we hate to fail, we hate to fail, but it's a part of life we can't shake. However, I think through failure we learn a lot. Not just how to overcome failure, but also who we are and what parts of us we can improve to fail less. I think this class has thought me that failing is really just part of life, and in order to be successful you might need to fail.
