This is an anonymous survey on four questions in relation to failure.
What failures and setbacks you have ever met?
1.well...
2.My GPA dropped.
3.Ignoring study when we study online.
4.Meeting the emotional conflict.
5.Getting low TOEFL score.
6.Missing the world championship.

8.I have difficulties to comfort my friend.
9.I didn’t lose weight successfully.
10.When I was in college, I had a really tough time with a particular English course called History of the English Language. I made a terrible first impression with the professor and had a hard time coming back from that.
11.Yes in every aspect of my life. such as failing exams, failing an interview, or the boy I had crush on was not into me at all...
12.There had been many challenges that I have faced in my life. If I had to pick a single moment in my life that had the greatest influence on the person I am today, it was the failure that I had encountered during the final years of my college life. While I was doing my thesis, I used to be a part of a team of scientific experts helping me throughout the course of my research. We had to climb a mountain to study its floral diversity. On our way up to the mountain, I encountered a different species of snake which I have never seen in my whole life. I was terrified and I fainted. I was rushed to the nearby hospital. They decided to cancel the data gathering on that day because of me. I blamed myself. I felt like I was not meeting others' expectations and I wanted to quit from the project. But quitting from the project will not benefit me. As part of the requirements to graduate, I have to complete the research study. And so, I programmed myself not to be afraid of any kind of reptiles. I treated this research project as a huge learning experience as I have to remind myself that I have to be a team player in order for this project to successful.
How did you react with the failures?
1.Doubting myself.
2.I escaped.
3.Asking the help of parents.
4.Being upset.
5.I practice harder.
6.I comfort my friend in a wrong way, which makes she feel even more sad.
7.I continue to try in my head.
13.As a result, we had to start fresh with our relationship. I needed to apologize and make a new image for myself. It was something that I learned a lot from, and we ended up having a great friendship in the end.
13.the most important, ask yourself, do you care about this failure. do you just want one-time failure or life-time failure. If one-time, then being sad is useless, you have to calm down first. 2) review the whole failure story, to see if there is anything I can improve. 3) talk to someone is wiser than I am, and ask them if they have any suggestions.
14.I felt disappointed in myself in the beginning and then I have realized that things don't always go as planned. I will face problems in life that are bigger than snakes. When I feel disappointed in myself, I forgive myself. I accepted that it happened because I cannot change that fact. And then I told myself to do better next time.
Did you overcome the failure?
1.It is hard for me to overcome it, so I will try to forget it, and move on.
2.I overcame the failure.
3.I didn’t overcome the failure. (x1)
4.It become better now, and I'm still working on it.
5.Probably.
6.Never.
7.I didn’t overcome the failure. (x2)
8.I definitely overcame the failure, but was also a huge turning point.
9.Other than boys, I overcame most of the failure that I experienced.
10.Failure is just an opportunity to learn and improve. Yeah…maybe I failed in front of my advisers; I let them and myself down by not meeting expectations but these are good reasons for me to learn and improve.

2.Looking forward.
3.I have to improve myself, and become more stronger.
4.We have always to leave a way open for the future.
5.Details is the key to success.
6.Not every assignment is as easier as we thought; not only hard work that can lead to success; it’s usually required reasonable guide to make the best performance of myself
7.Never try to help others when they didn’t ask for help
8.I should be more self-discipline.
9.I learned that everyone in life is not going to like me, and that’s okay. There’s nothing wrong with that, but we should still find a way to work together.
10.Don't take failure too serious. It is important, but not the end of the world. It provides the opportunity for you to review your past and improve yourself. Sometimes, you've tried really hard, but you still fail. Don't be sad. Life is telling you that it's the time to stop, don't waste your time on something/someone that doesn't deserve. (Completing your school work doesn't fall into this category LOL)
