University - benefits and risks

University can be one of the most challenging, but also one of the most rewarding experiences for young people. But for some, university may not be the best choice, especially when it comes to the return on investment (ROI) of attending For any student considering university, it is important to understand how the return on investment (ROI) works. The ROI for many students is considered to be quite low when considering tuition and fees, the opportunity cost of wages lost, the cost of living and study materials, and any loan interest rate or fees. While ROI varies from person to person, and can be improved through scholarships and grants, the bottom line is that unless you are going to a well-known school, it can prove to be financially unpractical. In terms of the academic value, attending university may also be considered a waste of time by some, due to the lack of flexibility, rigorous curriculum, outdated teaching methods and old-fashioned, uninteresting courses. Many institutions fa...

Resilience - learning from failure

Resilience is the ability to 'bounce back' from challenges and setbacks, and to adapt and grow through adversity. It is a key part of life and ensuring success in any field. Resilience is especially important if we want to learn from our failures and move forward in a positive direction.



To start developing resilience, try to recognize that failures are part of the learning process. This way you can easily adopt the attitude of using setbacks as a source for development, rather than seeing it as a negative end result. It is also helpful to remember that failure is not the same as a lack of ability. Instead, look at failures as opportunities to identify and improve areas that need work or to recognize skills or strategies that should be avoided in the future.

Frap around an up-skilling routine. Find time each week to set aside for learning and development. This gives you time to focus on areas that may have caused failure, or new skills that could help you succeed in the future. Take the time to evaluate and reflect on the things that went wrong, as well as to celebrate successes.



Find motivation and inspiration in others. There are many people who have overcome great challenges and achieved success in the face of adversity, both in the big and small things. By surrounding yourself with inspiring people and stories, it can help motivate and encourage you to continue on your own journey, despite any setbacks and failures you may experience along the way.

Finally, don't be afraid to ask for help and guidance. There are many sources of support that can help you become more resilient, and many people do best when they have good relationships and networks to rely on in difficult times.

Resilience is an important part of life and can be developed with practice. By understanding that failure is often the first step in learning and growing, taking the time to build upskilling routines, seeking out inspiration, and finding help when necessary, it is possible to become more resilient and move forwards in positive ways even after experiencing setbacks or failures.

W hen it comes to judging one's academic capabilities, most people turn to school grades as a benchmark. But can school grades really provide an accurate estimate of a person's success in life? To answer that question, we must also consider how school grades can affect one's mental health and what other measures of success exist. Grades are, unsurprisingly, one of the biggest stressors for students. Not living up to one's expectations can be incredibly detrimental to the mental and emotional wellbeing of a person. Research has found that higher academic achievement is linked to an individual's improved self-esteem and propensity for physical activity, and that lower grades are associated with negative emotions such as anxiety and depression.
