34. Learn From Failure, Don't Fear It

34. Learn From Failure, Don't Fear It

Author: Nick Jamell October 10, 2018 Duration: 51:05

Learn how failure can be conquered from the micro level to the macro. Understand the process of taking failure as it is and incorporating it into your life.

"Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough."
-Og Mandino

Economic: These failures are often, if not always, a failure of trust on behalf of people. Instead of allowing the system to progress as it naturally would, people try to put an economy on their timetable- which causes market failure.

Athletics: This teaches us that not every failure is ultimate. A quarterback being sacked doesn't mean the team can't score a touchdown on that drive. A single missed shot in basketball doesn't cost the game. There's always a chance to make up for a mistake or small failure until the clock hits 0.

Personal: These are far harder to cope with because the onus is on one person. You have to take full responsibility- even if it's out of your control on these failure. It may be losing a job, failing in a business, or dropping out of school.

Spiritual: These are personal failings, but on a moral, spiritual, or ethical plane. It isn't like losing a competition, but failing to overcome one's addiction, pride, or other moral failings. These can be the hardest to cope with because they go straight to the moral fabric of our being, our soul.

I am just trying to join the Conversation of Our Generation. Let’s get the dialogue going with comments, shares, questions- just say something!


Nick Jamell hosts Conversation of Our Generation, a space where urgent contemporary questions meet enduring ideas from history and philosophy. Rather than reacting to the noise of daily headlines, this podcast deliberately steps back to examine the deeper currents shaping our society and culture. Each episode is a long-form dialogue that treats topics like politics, religion, and social change not as fodder for debate, but as puzzles to be understood with patience and intellectual humility. The aim is to move beneath entrenched partisanship and surface-level takes, searching instead for clearer perspectives and foundational truths. What you’ll hear are thoughtful explorations that connect modern dilemmas to the wisdom of ancient and modern thinkers, asking how we might navigate today’s complexities with a more grounded sense of principle. This isn’t about quick answers; it’s about cultivating a more meaningful and less reactive way of engaging with the world. For anyone feeling adrift in a polarized age, this podcast offers a sustained, earnest conversation that values depth over speed, and understanding over winning an argument. Tune in for a respite from the frantic news cycle and a chance to consider what it means to be part of this particular moment in time, armed with the best ideas from across the ages.
