Once again, there a few words I would like to discuss that have been main topics of conversation in my classes this week.
1. Failure- Failure is defined as an act which proves to be unsuccessful. I have touched upon the topic of failure quite a bit this week in my other blogs, but it is an extremely important concept for people to understand (college students especially). Failing at something should never stand in the way of our goals. When you fail to accomplish something it may be a minor detour on the path toward success, but it should not determine if you get there.
My INQ class has read quite a few articles on failure this week, and what I have taken the most from them is that failures are ultimately learning experiences. They show you what you are not doing so well and give you a jumping off point to fix whatever is not up to par to ensure your success in that field in the future (if you learn from it).
2. Levelling- I heard this term for the first time in my History class this past Wednesday. Levelling is having no part higher than another; having a flat or even surface. It was used in class in reference to the checks and balances in our American government created by the Constitution. It makes certain that no single branch of the government gains more power than another.
3. Moral/Performance Character- Moral character encompasses your ethics, fairness, generosity, and other traits that make up your beliefs. Performance Character includes your effort and grit which motivate your actions. Character is an essential trait for success, and the combination of your beliefs and actions makes up who you are.
