I want to try something new with the pinned cast in /success: encouraging more long form discussion. Read the question below and answer thoughtfully. Let’s spark some real conversations here! There has been a lot of FUD recently about past failure and what that means for future success. With this in mind—what is the most important failure you’ve experienced in life and how did it shape the person you are today? For me, it was losing everything to drug addiction and the criminal justice system. My career, my health, my youth. But through that struggle, I learned to be a much stronger person—much more capable to take on the challenges of life. I wouldn’t change anything as all of it helped shape the person I am today. What about you?

Dude I love this. My life lesson was realizing my not caring attitude was not going to get me anywhere. I skated thru high school, did just enough to graduate. Homework, what was that? I made my teachers mad cause I would pass tests without doing an assignment (granted some cheating took place). Not getting accepted to any of the colleges I wanted to go to was the first jab. However, I ended up in community college and realized I didn't even want to be a computer science major. Took a bunch of entry classes and HR resonated with me, and that was my turning point. I still didn't care about gen ed, but aced every other class I did care about. Ended up with a great starting opportunity after 8 months of applying for jobs and not getting it. 10 years later, I'm glad I made the change.
