Learning is a fundamental part of life. We must learn or we will not survive. However, learning is not fun. Follow a student around for a few hours and some form of complaining will arise from the requirements associated with learning. "I have to write a paper" is a more common phrase than "I am pumped, I have so much homework I get to do." Spend a couple minutes with anyone and when failure occurs, the notion of learning from that failure is a distant second to the frustration from not being perfect. Failure is as much of a fundamental part of life as learning but learning only occurs if we choose to learn from our failures. "Do not look where you fell, but rather where you slipped." African Proverb
