How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big


1. The general theme of this book, was the only way to gain success in your life is to fail. what i mean by that if you cant be afraid to take risks and try new things. the things you experience the more fruitful your life will be. and not all the experience will turn out successful but regardless youll be able to learn from each and every one. It also focused on balance. that you want to weigh the time you take for business for family and for your personal time in order to remain healthy and happy. 

2. His "Passion is Bullshit" section had me going back and forth. and i don't think it aligned quite well with what we are learning in class. it was tearing away from doing your passion be you will learn to hate it. which i don't completely agree with. bu ti did agree with that failure is good and we can always learn from it.

3. I would defiantly have them do a dream board. i think they are very beneficial to keep your eye on the prize. it allows you think really think about your short term and long term goals and but them on a paper to visually see your future. it'll help keep things on track even when a mistake may happen and you feel discouraged. i would also have them do an activity to recognize they're recent failures and why they were good. 
   
4. the ah ha moment for me was how the author stressed to take care of yourself above everything else. he stressed that you are whats important not the success or failures around not your work. its you mental emotional and physical health that are going to be able to push you to be happy and get to where you want to go.
