  • In Dan's teen years, he was afraid to fail. This fear led him to quit sports he enjoyed, and not try in school. A quote by Theodore Roosevelt, however, sent his life on a new trajectory. Dan embraces failure now, including trying something completely new at the end of the talk: stand-up comedy. Dan lives in the beautiful Northwoods of Wisconsin and works as assistant news director and evening anchor for WJFW Newswatch 12. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    This resonates with me due to failing, lacking intelligence, lack of a growth mindset, caring what others think, self-worth, and more.

    Once i was feared from failure i just constantly ruminate about my parents, and other people's thinking but now i reduced it so much by improving myself not caring about others and living my own life. Even i used to think about my thinking constantly but Alhamdulilah life becomes better and easy with the passage of time. Left the things which God forbade make friends started sitting with them the university life which i used to scare so much now try to go there despite whatever my feeling. It was my journey. Ignore my writing 😢

      You must have documented some goals, if not document it.
      Then make sure the goal post does not shift.
      Example
      Today I will study and revise Regression Analysis
      End of today, big success right? So tomorrow I will study Correlation, and include 2 more areas of Statistics..
      There, I have just shifted my goal... You aim for something you are not capable of.
      But if today I have learnt Regression Analysis
      End of today, wow that was success. Tomorrow I will dig a bit deeper and understand it completely.. That should not move the goal post and would lead you to your original goal.

      Like he said, do not place the worth upon succeeding or your performance. All you have to do is go for it, because that is where your value and worth is.

    Well, watching them melt away within 48 hours felt so good, and yes, I used what I mentioned the other day. It actually took a bit more to make them totally disappear, I just go’ogled Melissa Thanderski and the pain unexpectedly disappeared so quickly.

      He does not want to do anything in life and I have supported him for 3 years.He only did school till 6th Grade and he never liked studies.
      He is 39 years now and only did jobs as kitchen help all his life.He is never in the mood to study and tears up out of fair of failing exams.He does not want any type of course or education and has made his life a passtime.
      He tears up everything and I have explained to him but he does not want to understand.He only wants to work and run to friends ,nothing else.
      Or chatting with his friends or family ...he keeps telling me what the point is in education and I did not come up in life.He avoids any type of training out of fear of failing ...
