how to face failure in academics | Professor Errol D'Souza | TEDxYouth@JGIS

[@sen.sanchariii]

I just hope TED sees this comment : Can we have more videos and speeches on academic failure? Because I'm a regular viewer of Ted - talks and I find that there are very few videos on this topic. Yet this is a very big issue all students are facing.

[@arpitpolistes]

Agreed

Comming from good grades to failing is definitely humbling. I am working on my BA. in Accounting, but in German. Today i failed Macroeconomics, when I know if the subject was in English I would have passed with good grades. So, really feeling in the dumps.

[@nandini_arg]

[@himanshuchaturvedi6161]

I still didn't get what makes you in trouble that macroeconomics or that language.

[@kockorzo]

@@himanshuchaturvedi6161 You can not communicate the thought of economics without language, especially when the question is to such an extraordinary degree as to suggest the existence and enjoyment of the great mass of people. It is therefore most eminently a social science and there should never arise any need to prove it when the answer is so painfully overt. Edit: Upon further rumination, I find the your question deeply disruptive and offensive, especially when you speak in such an acquainted tone. There is obviously a greater impediment in the bottleneck of language and communication rather than a mere bereavement of knowledge especially when a tendency to procurement has been illustrated- it is invariable and immutable observation stemmed from the founding principals of the economic sciences.

[@nerelynregudon3567]

Here I am again. I'm in my 4th year. And I failed again. The online class is really hard. Our professor gave us false hope that we passed the subject. Grades are already posted in our portal but 1-week pass before the new term, our professor surprised us with the wrong computation/ encoding of grades. A lot of us failed the subject so we need to repeat the subject. We are so devastated especially me since I only need 0.1 to pass the subject and retain my scholarship however after the emergency meeting yesterday, he didn't post anything. He just ended the meeting that we will have a meeting per class today but until today there is no response to our messages 😢😔

I just failed a 10% test in my accounting class. Although I know this isn’t the end of the world.. as someone who has never failed academically before, I can’t help but take it personally. I’ve never felt so defeated and it was honestly shocking. I’ve been sulking all day even though I have so much to do.. the main reason this has been eating at me is because I go to a very competitive law school and to make into next year I have to get good grades in all courses. I just need to bounce back. I can take control and better my grade. I will do anything to achieve my goals Edit: I got into law school! Everything is possible with God

[@President_mabuza]

Inspired 🙏

[@thesparks00]

When there is no reinforcement or a positive cue, a person gets negative feedback loop. It's important to step back and understand your goals with your abilities. Proactively reach out to those who are helping you. You fail yourself when you ignore the problem and give up the long-term. Persevere in the short period of time. Find your commitment mechanism, find ways to overcome failure. Humans have the ability of foresight. Use it for decision making to be good long-term.

Now, this one will extend my degree by another 6 months or a year, depending on which route i take. What was supposed to be a three year degree in now turning to a 5 year degree.

I’m a freshman college student with adhd I failed two of my courses in my first semester, I incompleted one, and withdrew the other because of quick thinking from my professors. I’m worried about the possibility of not graduating in 4 years because my family can’t afford it. This video definitely helped a little bit with my morale. Adhd sucks. Or is it higher education who’s failed to help people with learning disabilities? I don’t know.

[@user-qy6tu9ip9v]

@@iceomistar4302 I have a procrastination problem as well but I also struggle to retain information long term. This might be because of my procrastination?

[@JonasBebeFTW]

@@user-qy6tu9ip9v I think you’re very right. Our memory works in three components, primarily short-term memory and long-term memory. information in the short-term is stored for around 30 seconds, before it either disappears forever or moves into the long-term. That transition is called LTP where neurons are formed and stored in the cortex(outer part of the brain). For this to happen focus and purpose is required, that is why procrastination prevents it because you’re not really focused. It’s quite fascinating because if you actively put things in context you get a more effective and stronger formation of the neurons. You probably have heard about the life hack: chewing gum when studying and the chew the same flavor when taking an exam. It’s really true because you then have more and stronger formations between the neurons connecting the gum flavor to the information you have studied, thereby making it easier to retrieve. If you at the same time do other things like making a rap about a thing u studied or a little story, then you also have a stronger formation. You get the idea. I hope this made sense and gave you something to work with:) It’s something that i recently have been keeping in mind when trying to remember things.

But I will get past this and one day I will be proud of me. I am making this promise to myself and this comment is the proof. All the best to me.

[@Zer0Sympathy]

Reading the comments reminds me that I’m not alone in this, we have all screwed up or have sometimes been screwed over. What matters is that we learn from our experiences and push forward towards something better. Tonight I gave up on my virtual economics and personal finance course. I chronically procrastinate (I’m unsure if this is just a part of who I am or if it is related to my ADHD and other things) and cannot manage myself when it comes to self paced work. I massively regret what I allowed to happen this year, and now I am finishing econ with only a little over 9 out of 13 topics completed. I do not know if I will pass or fail, and I do not know how negatively my GPA will be impacted, but there was just no way I could finish the course tonight by the deadline. I’ve learned that I can only blame myself for what’s happened and that if I want to make it up I will have to work to defeat my procrastination demon in the future. I wish everyone here lots of love, luck, and recovery. Good night guys.

That's a bitter pill to swallow. Maximum effort x zero ability equals zero result. No wonder I kept failing, I thought that I didn't put enough effort, it turns out, I don't have the ability.

[@chinguunclara]

I used to be a grade A student that almost never had problem with studying. Yet, I failed miserably on my junior year’s exams. Although I do have second chance to retake it this fall, I literally cannot tell whether I can make up for my horrible exam results or again repeat the same mistake. On top of that, I would not be receiving the grades of my retake before the college application deadlines, which means I have to submit low grades. My gpa is not that perfect as well(it’s 3.82). So my entire application is dependent on my SAT score. But no matter how much I practice how much I read I keep getting the same low scores. I feel like giving up because of it but I don’t want to feel the failure and beat myself up for it again, but I just just *just* can’t get the thought of failure out and I hate myself for it so much…and now look at me crying in the middle of the night…

I can confidently say that the thoughts of failure is a double- edged knife.

I still hate myself though

[@cfl.5]

The reason why i fear failure is bcoz i dont want to disappoint my father who has high expectations on me. Im the youngest child in the family and growing up, i always looked upto my siblings and their achievements always overshadowed me. Bcoz of that i always wanted to do better than them bcoz it felt like if i fail, no one will bother to listen to me. I felt unheard and unseen. That was why i tried to do better than them in everything. I was never good at maths, but when my father asked me to do a degree which was full of maths, i didn't deny, in fear of disappointing him. I did great for the 1st 6 months, but unfortunately failed in one final exam. I dont know how to open up to my father and tell him that i failed. Im lost and confused. He is not strict, im sure he will not scold me or be mad at me, but he will be disappointed and that is breaking me. Im not good in anything. I cant do any sport, im not an academic achiever either. I have no ambition, no hobby, no dream, nothing. I am so useless, lost and confused

I have an almost identical story, my friend. except I chose a career he would respect and he simply asked that I college calculus because he thought it was important, even though it is not required for my major. he is always shocked and upset when I do badly even though the only reason I passed that calculus class was his guidance. i understand you, but I think we should try to chart our own path because that's all we can do in life. read some history and learn which influential people were considered disappointments in their family, or somehow failed at something and tried again

I'm here becasue I recently failed at a competition; I have a very high position in that organization so I feel like I let everyone down(the sponsor, my parents, peers) I put in so much effort and practice into it, but it still didn't work out. I honestly felt that I don't deserve my loving parents, the beautiful environment of my school, and my comfortable life. I should be rotting in some barren place because I'm not doing anything to deserve this. I've realized that I recognize my weaknesses but I always make a point about them to myself, which is lowering my confidence. I blame every bad thing that happens in my life on myself and I kinda feel like all of these bad things will bury me and make me a failure in the future. However, success isn't the most important thing; not giving up and constantly working towards your goals is. No matter how badly I fail or how much I fail I will never work as hard as possible to make my dreams come true.

I studied 3 year degree major in chemistry,in my 1st sem I failed in one subject on my 2nd sem I failed at 2 subject and my 3rd sem I failed in 3 subject but after that I cleared 1 and 2 sem but again I failed in 3rd sem exam I was so depressed and I had no idea what am I gonna do but after that I cleared all my papers and I realised that chemistry is not my subject, now I am studying what I really want and succeeding in academic so don't lose your hope and study what you want.

I am also a chemistry major ,I feel the same ,I have a semester and project left for me .I have no idea how I am gonna make it.But I don't have any other option other than completing the course .I just don't understand anything these days

I'm scared to go back to my house during the Winter Break because I failed 2 out of 3 classes in college and might lose my academic scholarships because right now my GPA is at a 1.98. I really am ashamed because I went from a 4.0 student to this and I'm afraid to lose my financial aid because deep down I know we can't waste money on a failure but I don't know what I'll do with myself if I'm a failure.

[@IredeTomide-Johnson]

I get you completely, academic pressure is unlike any other especially when people have such high expectations of you.

[@3407]

I already failed my graduation once last year. I tried again this year.. but unfortunately there's a 90% chance I'm gonna fail again. Regardless, I'm gonna keep trying. And you should too 💜.

Im failing my math class, I'll get kicked out of the science section I'm in. My family will shame me about failing and saying you wasted our money on your uniform and stuff. I just don't understand math, I just wanna get a job without math maybe science too. I just wanna get a job relating to creative stuff, no numbers that hurts my head. It's just embarrassing to fail,

[@SreemoyiC]

Relatable. Some subjects aren't meant for everyone. Finish school and opt subjects beyond maths. You gonna find your way, whatever works for you. Go for it. Say it aloud as well, x y z doesn't work for me. Its not my cup of tea. Helps to overcome shame. Best wishes

I am in going into the second year of my undergrad program this September, to get into my dream program, I must get first hon ( CGPA: 3.6+). In this last year, my GPA is so bad I barely have a CGPA that passes 3.0, I am scared and don't know what to do. I know I can do better, just like what I've done before and it is so hard to be brave and find confidence in myself once again.

There is still hope and chance of getting to 3.6,people have done it and so can you

[@abhisheknath5723]

I had Physics major in my degree.... But during admission I chose Chemistry as my minor subject... It was the worst decision of my life that I am still suffering the Consequences As there was a change in rules that we cannot have 3 subjects... I couldn't take maths later.... For admission in MSc physics in big Institutions Maths was necessary with Physics.... I wanted to do higher studies in Physics, but all my doors were closed...However, because of a short term commitment and persistence.. I somehow hav got a chance in an IIT... But a smaller IIT...as they allowed it somehow... All my friends are in higher IITs and are doing well... But I am still very sad and RN regret feelings has hit me very badly... I am feeling like a failure... Now I cannot even drop another year and prepare for entrance exam even better than last year... Because I know... No matter How much I try, I am never going to fulfil my dream... I am not eligible... This hopelessness feeling is pretty bad😭... All my friends have either gone too ahead of me or they are preparing again, so next year they will launch themselves cross me with very high speed....And I cant do anything but see😞

[@3407]

First of all sorry about that. If you still got a chance in that, I highly encourage you to try and go for it no matter how hard that may be. If it's yiur dream than it definitely will be worth the extra effort. Also, you shouldn't care so much about where other people are at, including friends. Everyone has his own timeline. Good luck

[@shatha15x]

it’s my first semester and we have two dates for each exam, i succeeded in date A but failed in date B therefore i need to retake the course again. add to that there’s 2 courses that depend on this course meaning there’s a possibility that u can’t take them for the next semester .. i feel miserable .. hope i’ll be back here again to say “i did it ..”

Burn down your bridges, so you have no other option but success, because if you failed, you have no place to go back. It's not a very good advice in my opinion. Should I quit my job at the hospital I'm currently working at, take an unpaid internship, that is not guaranteed to help, so I can get a recommendation for the next entrance exam? I don't think I can do that, I'm too much of a coward. Because if I fail again, what's next?
