  • If at first you fail, try again.

  • If at second you fail, then...you might actually be better than the rest of us.

  • Hey failures, Trace here for DNews.

  • Imagine a world without failure.

  • We wouldn’t have Dr. Seuss (he was rejected 27 times before his first book deal), Disneyland

  • wouldn’t exist (Walt was once fired from a newspaper fornot being creative enough”),

  • and there’d be no Harry Potter guys (JK Rowling was divorced, jobless, and broke before

  • her famous book series)!

  • So is failure actually good for us?

  • Perhaps so, especially in the startup culture we have today where events like FailCon exist.

  • It’s exactly what it sounds like, a conference where hopeful startup founders learn about

  • the failures of other startups so they don’t make the same mistakes.

  • It’s a classic trope that those who don’t learn from their mistakes are doomed to repeat

  • them.

  • Really?

  • Doomed?

  • That’s kind of a strong word and may not be the best way to encourage success.

  • Or at least according to one study, which looked at whether there were any benefits

  • to telling students that it’s okay to fail.

  • The study gave 111 students very difficult tasks.

  • Before they began, some were given anfailure is okpep talk, while others were not.

  • At the end, no one was able to complete the task successfully.

  • However, those who received the pep talk had better working memory capacity, which can

  • predict academic achievement like reading comprehension and problem solving.

  • The study also suggested that those who didn’t get the talk may have felt more incompetent,

  • which may have interfered with their working memory7.

  • So stop telling kids theyre all doomed!

  • It’s okay, bud, make mistakes, we all do.

  • And if you fail, that might actually make you smarter in the long run.

  • In a study from the journals of Cognitive Science, two groups of students were asked

  • to solve math problems.

  • The first was taught the concepts and procedures ahead of time, while the second had to try

  • and figure it out for themselves before they were given a lesson.

  • Predictably, the second group failed at solving the problems before instruction.

  • But in a post-test, that group actually outperformed the students who had instruction first.

  • They also did better on questions about higher-level concepts that weren’t taught to either group.

  • The results suggest that letting students fail first could be helpful, at least in math.

  • But before you intentionally crash and burn, another study out of MIT suggests that success

  • might have a more positive influence on your brain than failure.

  • Researchers gave monkeys a task and rewarded them when they responded it correctly.

  • When a monkey was successful, the neurons in the reward centers of their brain sent

  • out a signal that lasted several seconds, into the next task.

  • During those seconds, the monkeys were more likely to get that next task right too, suggesting

  • a chain reaction in your brain of success leading to more success.

  • No such signal was sent out when the monkey failed.

  • So success isn’t a bad thing, of course, but neither is learning from your failures.

  • In the end, what matters more is that you are actually DOING the activity you are trying

  • to learn and taking chances.

  • So keep doing!

  • Even if you fail, and then fail, and fail again

  • So does this mean that it’s better to try and praise kids and boost their self-esteem,

  • even if they fail?

  • Maybe not.

  • Find out why in this video from Julia and Amy.

  • What’s one thing youve failed at?

If at first you fail, try again.
