Title: College Advisor Alma Maters: University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, and DePaul University Hometown: Wauconda, IL Quotation: Samuel Beckett wrote, "Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better." I like this quotation because we all have a tendency to see the world in black and white, good and bad, success and failure. But the world isn’t this way–and learning this is important in education. We learn through trying, but if we are afraid to try because of the possibility of failure, then we will never learn. Beckett emphasizes this by putting a positive spin on what we see as negative, by failing better. |
