Winning essays from the CAF contest "My Failure Story"
Intizar Tashov (KAIST Department of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering)
"I asked the question “Why” because I had such a good plan and “How” because I worked so hard. I kept repeating, “I worked so hard, I worked so hard, I worked so hard…” And it clicked! It was a sudden realization that one of the main reasons I failed badly and was feeling so miserable and devastated about it might be because I always carried this feeling of entitlement that I work hard enough things will somehow work out for me."
