"Failure means you have courage. It means you want to learn new things. It means you dared to take a risk. In truth, failure builds self-confidence far more powerfully than success."
So much of what Linda Blair says in this comment piece from The Guardian links to what I feel about the importance of the student reflection element of the Innovation Challenge. It allows you the opportunity to confront failure, examine it, and at its best, deconstruct it, reconstruct it, and realise that attaining failure is no failure at all. It's about responding to failure - and that is learning at its most pure, its most intense, its most relevant.
Indeed, as Samuel Beckett said: "Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better." Wise words indeed.
