Try Again, Fail Again, Fail Better

Recently I stumbled upon the mysterious and amazing mind of Samuel Beckett, and I began to realize that his quotes seemed to resemble a lot of what I was doing for the PLN class. Indeed I’ve tried on new ideas and many failures followed, but after every failure I feel as if I’m learning something.

My previous attempts in making myself open and my project open has been a success, but I haven’t been able to move further. As the days go by I feel as if I’ve just stopped in my steps and currently I’m just facing a huge wall in front of me. But I don’t know what this wall is, and sometimes I really don’t want to know.

I always thought that I faced the challenge of time. Sometimes I couldn’t really find the time to overcome either the time difference I had with the other people around the world or I was more focused on passing my classes rather than doing well in them. But then after my recent attempt on grabbing the Asian world as a focus, I realized that it wasn’t really the lack of time I had, it was just from the lack of confidence. I’ve said that I’ve tried and I’ve failed, but in a better way and learned that things would turn out to be better. But it just feels as if I’m being told not to do things another way, since I have this gut splitting feeling that I would fail again.

Yes indeed Samuel Beckett used to say “Try Again, Fail Again, and Fail Better”, but then Homer Simpson would always say that “Failure always comes from trying”. To tell you the truth I respect both of these people, and it may sound like a joke. But I am serious about the fact that we have a lot to learn from Homer Simpson. He would also be a great man to talk with when it comes to racist and stereotypes, but unfortunately he only exists in an electronic box.

So I guess I can say that I’m stuck with the fact that I haven’t moved on (from just writing), but I guess I just need more time to think to myself, “Is this what you really want?”.
