Your spelling is a fail...
Im to lazy to type correctly

But we thought you don't fail at anything? Your laziness shows. I think you meant you're *too lazy to type correctly
Yes

So you have failed. Everybody has, but you need to realize that you aren't perfect. E.g. Your laziness...


I agree that is my only weakness
I nvr have a drive to succeed in school

So you failed to contribute a valid effort in typing this post.
You failed to have a drive in school.
You failed to identify more than one weakness (which I'm sure you have)
You fail to be modest.
And the list goes on...

Come on guys, relax Smiley

My opinion, if you have never failed you have never really succeded. If you have ever only been put in situations where you are garanteed to succeed, first off its impossible, second you would be at a severe disadvantage later on.
Noone likes failing, I didnt like being tapped out in Judo for instance, but you take the experiences and learn from them. And the more modest you are to others, the bigger chance they will help you learn from them.

Its how we grow as humans.

Well, indeed this is a very bad mindset to have. I can't blame you though, because I have my own failure phobias, but have mostly gotten over them.

A few things to help you out with that are:

1) How do you define failure?

2) Even if you "fail" in your own definition, what would be the consequence of that other than just "failing" ?

3) Embrace failure as a way of making you stronger and boosting your confidence. Confidence is not thinking you are invincible, it's the certainty that even when you fail (which you WILL, over and over), you are able to get back up and be even stronger than before.

It's cool to fail, anyone who tells you otherwise is the real failure.
