Experiencing Failure Participation in sports has always been a part of my life. The first time I experienced playing a sport‚ I was five years old. Although my father was the coach for my team‚ after I had played for a few years‚ I decided that I did not like soccer anymore. At that time‚ I began playing football; I loved everything about that sport. After three years‚ I realized that I could not continue to play because I was not as big as the rest of the players.

First‚ the British failed to

When one thinks of failure‚ it is easy to just dramatize it and consider it utter defeat. To oneself‚ the world may seem void of any reason just because the failure appears so great that it is seemingly impossible to escape its effects. This was the feeling that I felt last summer when I decided to attend a congress for future scientists and technologists in Massachusetts at the expense of a few days of school.
