I have failed in many subjects in my engineering and I failed mostly in mathematics (M1) and information security (IS) many times. Like I have more than 3 attempts, and later passed M1 still the result for Information security has to come.so please feel free to tell about your failures during education/examination phases? ---

You only fail if you stop trying I suppose. :thinking: ---

Are you failing your classes over and over? Or, are you failing certain subjects/exams? Sorry, I am not clear. I have failed a few classes in my time; and later made them up. I have certainly failed more than a few tests! If you are routinely having trouble passing your classes, however, it could indicate that something else is holding you back. ---

I once failed to get grapes out of a tree, but then I realized those grapes were stupid anyways. 🦊 ---

Homeschooled, so I don’t fail my testing. :wink: (If anyone is wondering, this was a joke and homeschoolers are not that lenient.) ---

I Never Fail… ever… I have an Amazingly simple secret. I always take classes easy enough to pass. I spent years trying to learn how to properly sharpen a knife. I’m not kidding. YEARS! I finally cracked the code. My perseverance paid off. I almost sawed completely through a block of butter before the blade broke. You just have to keep at it. Never give up. I have success written all over me. Sadly; since I used a Permanent marker to do the writing; it will probably take years to wash it off. Take these words of wisdom from old Mo. ‘You may be the smartest monkey in the Zoo. But if the second smartest monkey is an idiot; than that’s not sayin much’. Good luck🤓 ---

I have to ask: is engineering a passion? Do you wake up thinking about it? I was told that if I found something I loved, and could make a living at it, I’d never work a day in my life. Unfortunately, I have kids now and bust my a\*\* at a job thats… Meh. If you’re not tired down with kids, take the time to find out what you REALLY want to do FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE AS A CAREER. Then stop the bs and get it done. Dont feel sorry for yourself. Study harder, get there first, be the last to leave, aggravate the profs until you understand the subject jnside and out. You’d be doing that now if your heart was in it… ---
