Why failure isn't always a bad thing

It’s often said we’re more risk-averse nowadays, more cautious, more careful not to fail. This is especially noticeable in both the workplace and in education, where the emphasis is on achieving good results, rather than on learning and becoming wiser. In fact, this attitude is so pervasive that many of us have become frightened of ever failing. Is this a healthy attitude? Research in both business and education suggests not.

In a study carried out at Bilkent University in Turkey and Ghent University in Belgium, Aikaterini Michou and colleagues questioned more than 1,000 high school and university students about their motivation to learn and the learning strategies they used. The students who were afraid to fail were more cautious, more likely to set goals that allowed them to feel better about themselves, rather than to pursue new interests or enhance personal development. They were also less likely to use the most effective learning strategies.

Joachim Brunstein and Peter Gollwitzer at the Universities of Erlangen and Konstanz in Germany conducted an experiment where they told a group of young adults they’d failed on the first of two tasks (irrespective of actual test scores). Those who’d been told the task was a test of their competence and promise in their chosen field – either medicine or computer science – were more likely to do better on the second task than were those who were told the initial task was irrelevant to their future career. It seems that when an individual fails in an area that’s important to them, that failure can become a motivator, rather than a deterrent.

Tại sao thất bại không phải luôn luôn là một điều xấu
Người ta thường nói rằng chúng ta ngày càng có nhiều rủi ro hơn, thận trọng hơn, cẩn thận hơn để không thất bại. Điều này đặc biệt đáng chú ý ở cả nơi làm việc và trong lĩnh vực giáo dục, trong đó nhấn mạnh đến việc đạt được kết quả tốt hơn là học tập và trở nên khôn ngoan hơn. Trên thực tế, thái độ này rất phổ biến đến mức nhiều người trong chúng ta đã sợ hãi đến mức nào. Đây có phải là một thái độ lành mạnh? Nghiên cứu cả về kinh doanh và giáo dục đều cho thấy.

Trong một nghiên cứu được thực hiện tại Đại học Bilkent ở Thổ Nhĩ Kỳ và Đại học Ghent ở Bỉ, Aikaterini Michou và các cộng sự đã thẩm vấn hơn 1.000 sinh viên trường trung học và cao đẳng về động lực học hỏi và các chiến lược học tập mà họ sử dụng. Những sinh viên sợ không thành công thì thận trọng hơn, có nhiều khả năng đặt ra các mục tiêu cho phép họ cảm thấy tốt hơn về bản thân, hơn là theo đuổi các mối quan tâm mới hoặc tăng cường sự phát triển cá nhân. Họ cũng ít có khả năng sử dụng các chiến lược học tập hiệu quả nhất.

Joachim Brunstein và Peter Gollwitzer tại các trường đại học Erlangen và Konstanz ở Đức tiến hành một thí nghiệm, nơi họ nói với một nhóm người lớn trẻ họ đã thất bại trong lần đầu tiên trong hai nhiệm vụ (không phân biệt điểm kiểm tra thực tế). Những người được cho biết nhiệm vụ là một thử nghiệm về năng lực của họ và hứa hẹn trong lĩnh vực được lựa chọn của họ - hoặc là y khoa hoặc khoa học máy tính - có nhiều khả năng làm tốt hơn nhiệm vụ thứ hai hơn là những người được cho biết nhiệm vụ ban đầu là không liên quan đến sự nghiệp tương lai. Dường như khi một cá nhân thất bại trong một lĩnh vực quan trọng đối với họ, thất bại đó có thể trở thành động lực thúc đẩy chứ không phải là một động lực.

Task One: READ ‘The Tell-Tale Heart’
This is an extract from a short story. The narrator has murdered an old man and hidden his body under the floorboards. The Tell-Tale Heart: Edgar Allan Poe I then took up three planks from the flooring of the chamber, and deposited all of the body. I then replaced the boards so cleverly, so cunningly, that no human eye – not even his – could have detected anything wrong. There was nothing to wash out – no stain of any kind – no blood-spot whatever. I had been too careful for that. When I had finished this task, it was four o’clock – still dark as midnight. As the bell sounded the hour, there came a knocking at the street door. I went down to open it without fear, for what had I now to fear? There entered three men, who introduced themselves as officers of the police. A shriek had been heard by a neighbour during the night; suspicion of foul play had been aroused; information had been told to the police, and they (the officers) had been sent to search the premises. I smiled, for what had I to fear? I welcomed the gentlemen to my home. The shriek, I said, was my own in a dream. The old man, I said, was absent in the
countryside. I took my visitors all over the house. I told them to search thoroughly. I led them to his bedroom. I showed them his treasures, secure, undisturbed. In the enthusiasm of my confidence, I brought chairs into the
room and invited them to rest from their work, while I myself, in the wild audacity of my perfect triumph, placed my own above the very spot where the corpse of the victim was. The officers were satisfied. My manner had convinced them. I relaxed. They sat, and while I answered cheerily, they chatted about familiar things. But, before long, I felt myself getting pale and wished they would leave. My head ached, and I imagined a ringing in my ears: but still they sat and still chatted. The ringing became more distinct: it continued and became louder: I talked more freely to get rid of the feeling: but it continued and became even louder – until I thought that the noise was not within my ears.

No doubt I now grew very pale; but I talked more fluently, and with a heightened voice. Yet the sound increased – and what could I do? It was a low, dull, quick sound – like the sound as a watch makes. I gasped for breath – and yet the officers did not hear it. I talked more quickly; but the noise steadily increased. I got up and argued about small things, in a high key and with violent gesticulations; but the noise steadily increased. Why would they not
leave? I paced the floor to and fro with heavy strides and still the noise steadily increased. Oh God! what could I do? I foamed – I shouted – I swore! I moved the chair upon which I had been sitting, and dragged it on the floorboards, but the noise arose over all and continually increased. It grew louder – louder – louder! And still the men chatted pleasantly, and smiled. Was it possible they could not hear it? Almighty God! – no, no! They heard! – they suspected! – they knew! – they were making a mockery of my horror! But anything was better than this agony! Anything was more tolerable than this mocking! I could not stand their fake smiles any longer. I felt that I must scream or die! and now – again! louder! louder! louder! louder!
“Villains!” I shrieked, “wait no more! I admit the deed! – tear up the planks! here, here! – It is the beating of his hideous heart!”
