The Final Judge of Your Failures is Your Mind
Sungwon Choi (Professor of Psychology, Duksung Women’s University)
The world is changing at a breakneck pace. Information is spreading faster than ever, and technological advancement is accelerating. However, such rapid developments may be forcing us to make decisions and think far too quickly. It is inadvisable to respond to the inevitable experience of failure with hasty conclusions. Your failure may have resulted due to an unimaginable number of variables, some of which may even be of a cosmic nature. Being forced to draw hasty conclusions can cause people to attribute the cause of their failures to societal inequality or the ineffectualness of one’s circumstances. Certainly, facing the world alone is undeniably challenging, but giving up quickly only accelerates the erosion of one’s resolve. Sometimes, it is necessary to take as much time as necessary to accept one’s failures and sift through the complex web of meaning lying within. Sometimes, the path to success is the slower and less straightforward route.
