People Share 50 Moments When “There Was An Attempt” But Nothing Else Followed (New Pics)
Interview With ExpertThey say you miss every shot you don't take. But not all of the ones that you do end up on target, either. So in order to not get carried away and keep ourselves grounded, let's take a look at the subreddit 'There Was An Attempt,' shall we?
Its members collect amusing, awkward, and sometimes painful fails at being patriotic, interviewing for a job, and pretty much every other aspect of daily life. If their posts don't reassure you that everyone makes mistakes, I don't know what will!

Load More Replies..."Our fear of failure is something we learn as children," psychologist Dr. Samuel West, who studies corporate behavior, told Bored Panda. "We learn how to react to failure by observing those around us. We learn that failure is negative, it is painful, and that we should avoid it."
These lessons are extensive and quite damaging, but some teachers make them especially persuading. "Growing up influenced by adults that have high anxiety and/or are overly critical and unsupportive makes it much worse," Dr. West added. "At the core, the fear of failure is related to shame and the powerful emotions of being negatively judged by others. When we feel shame we try to hide our perceived wrong-doings, our poor moral decisions, etc."
"The evolutionary function of shame is social control. Society needs social mechanisms to maintain order. As such, the fear of failure makes perfect sense, as a society we don't want people to keep failing and doing things that are detrimental to themselves and society itself."

To Discipline A Non-Employee
The "please call me" "no" is some of the best s**t I've seen in my life. It filled my soul with pure unadulterated joy! Caleb is a legend!
Don't know if it's real, but more people should treat their boss/work like this.
In 2017, Dr. West launched an exhibit in Sweden showcasing flopped products and ideas, to celebrate failure's essential role in innovation and progress. It quickly gained popularity and is now known as 'The Museum of Failure,' a traveling exhibition that has been making its way around the world.
"There is good failure and there is bad failure," he said. And that's why it can be so tricky!
"Bad failure is the kind that is preventable and predictable, it is always bad and should be avoided. Good failure is the type of failure that comes from experimentation and exploration when we try and test new things. Art, science, and tech innovation need the continual taking of risks (risk of failure!) for progress to happen. The same is true for us on a personal level. Without taking meaningful risks we stagnate."
To Understand Depression
KNOWING that there are so many good things in my life and still feeling hopeless and helpless. I have suffered from depression my whole life and when I was in my 60s I finally found a healthcare professional who prescribed a maintenance dose of antidepressants which allowed me to monitor my depression and increase the dosage when necessary.
I have a little sign that says, "You are about to exceed the limits of my medication," I really need that on a tee shirt as a PSA ..
Load More Replies...I hate when people ask why after being told I'm depressed. My sister said this to me just recently. If I had a reason I wouldn't be depressed I'd just be sad something happened. People can really suck sometimes.
To Sleep Peacefully
For real. I read one recently where an Iraq Vet was put on Ambien and his wife woke up in the middle of the night with him sittin on the bed with his FULLY LOADED AR-15 mumbling something like "This is going to get real bad". She told him he was relieved and to go back and get some downtime. He handed the gun to her and she hid it until morning. Guns are NOT a substitute for therapy folks.
Load More Replies...I've always been rather animated in my sleep, one of my husband's favourite anecdotes about this is when I apparently frantically pointed at the corner of the room and yelled at him to "fix that f**king waterfall before Matt Damon gets here". Strangely enough I can't say I even particularly like Matt Damon.
In college I once sat up in the middle of the night and screamed "No, no, get out!". Then I laid back down and went right to sleep. My poor roommate (who was also asleep at the time) nearly wet her bed. I don't do it anymore, but when I was a teen and young adult I used to have some weird sleepwalking/talking behaviors. Which included getting up and getting ready for school at 2am - even going so far as to curl my hair, all while I was still asleep. I sincerely apologize to anyone who had to share a room with me! :)
This sounds like night terrors. I had them as a child and apparently the final straw for my parents was when I woke them up from my screaming, then sat up in bed, pointed near the foot of my bed and said "They're coming." I was put in therapy that week and my family still says the name of the school therapist with reverence.
I’ve realized that when I’m mumbling in my dreams it’s all good, but when I’m speaking clearly in my dreams I’m gonna have some splainin to do. Because I usually wake up at least my husband and sometimes my daughter as well
I'm schizophrenic and on occasion get somniloquy (sleep talking) and "Logorrhea" aka, verbal diarrhoea in my sleep lmao, but I do tend to kind of talk fast and incoherently when it happens. So for this reason, we have a spare bedroom so my wife can still get sleep if I'm like that. It's actually not even all that common among schizophrenics, either iirc, so OPs partner definitely needs a mental health check...
Dr. Nick Morgan agrees. The founder and CEO of Public Words, a consulting firm specializing in communication skills, describes himself as a recovering perfectionist and believes that the big question when it comes to failure is what can we do with it.
"I can stress out and ruminate endlessly on what went wrong. I can beat myself up for my part in the debacle. I can try to pretend that nothing happened. I've tried each of these over the years, and a few more besides, and I can tell you that they don’t work — of course they don't. And yet, many of us respond these ways over and over again, trapped by our perfectionism," Dr. Morgan told Bored Panda.
"What you need to do instead is to understand what went wrong, as dispassionately as possible, decide what to do differently the next time, and move on. If apologies are in order, make them heartfelt and timely."
To Be Successful!
TBF, I have never seen her until this. Heard the name in passing before, probably a Will Smith article or something, but her... no clue
I haven't heard of and wouldn't recognise *loads* of people who are reasonably famous (up to and including "can fill a stadium" famous). It is silly of Willow to suggest she doesn't owe any of her success to her parents though. I've known a few of her songs and they ain't all that.
Load More Replies...I think it's so sad when your parents are famous and you want to do the same kind of job they did. No matter what you do or achieve, people will tell you you did it thanks to your parents. You can never not be compared to them, it really must be awful to live.
But she isn’t doing the same job as them. And her music might be amazing, might be because somehow it’s so great I’ve never heard it, but there are TONS of extremely talented musicians out there that never make it because they don’t have contacts they would if there parents were famous. I guarantee you this girl has voice coaches, producers, the most high tech studios, all of the things that could make just about anyone produce amazing music if only their parents had the money and influence to secure them. I’m glad you’re a true fan, but if you can’t see her privilege you’re willfully blind.
Load More Replies...All the other silliness and Smith family drama aside I do actually like her music a lot. It raw in a way that reminds me of 90's bands with female lead singers.

"If you don't process the failures cleanly, you'll find yourself like a ship with its hull covered in barnacles, moving slower and slower, unable to navigate gracefully through the waters ahead," said the author of Can You Hear Me?: How to Connect with People in a Virtual World.
"Worse, the next time you’re speaking, and the moment looks weirdly like the failure moment to your unconscious mind – which never forgets, especially pain – you will find yourself suddenly distracted at the very least by your brain saying, 'Oh-oh! Things are about to go horribly wrong!' That will compound the agony, and matters will quickly get worse."

To Act Like You Belong
When I was a kid, I had a book called "Dinosaurs, and all that rubbish". In it, a rich man gets obsessed with flying to a distant planet to find paradise, so he pollutes all of planet earth to build a rocket to get there. The waste he produces is so toxic that it revives the dinosaurs, who are angry at all the junk and destruction, and clean it up. Maybe this time we can stop the rich man before he ruins the beautiful planet.

The good thing is that "while the failure itself is a negative experience (it is embarrassing, expensive, painful, etc.) the results can and often are very positive," Dr. Samuel West added.
In fact, he highlighted that recovering from our failures has been becoming an increasingly hot research topic.
"One thing that we know is that people need perspective on their failures, to understand that while it is painful, the effects are limited. This quote by Jon Sinclair explains it very well: 'Failure is a bruise. Not a tattoo.' When we make an effort to reflect on what has happened and accept responsibility we can learn from them — this is the best way to recover."
"When you understand that failure is the empty spaces in-between success, that failure is just the other side of the coin of success, then recovering from failure is easier. I advise my clients that they should focus more on 'failure recovery' than on 'failure avoidance.' Once you train your ability to recover from small and larger failures you realize that there is not much to fear."

To Be Body Positive
I am big boned. According to the densitometry, by bone density is 30-50% above the normal range. When I was thin, my BMI was around 22-23. And I mean really thin.
Load More Replies...Yes there is such a thing as big boned. Surgeon who did my husbands hip replacement came out saying he’d never seen such large bones..Hubby 6’4” German Dane heritage.
The human skeleton varies slightly from person to person. I can guarantee that when we are 6 feet under, with some mild differences for density or height, the morbidly obese and those of relative health are the exact f*****g same.
Dr. Nick Morgan also mentioned a study from 2011 that he recently ran across finds that acceptance and self-compassion, positive reframing, and humor are the three most effective ways to deal with failure.
"These are techniques I can get behind, even though I’m not great at them," he said.
Acceptance and self-compassion are the basics of moving on from failure. According to Dr. Morgan, you will know best how to talk to yourself, but some form of acceptance and forgiveness of yourself as a unique, valuable, fabulous human being is vital. "There are many books, online courses, and psychologists out there ready to help. Do the work; it’s important. As the self-help cliché has it, the airplane safety talk is right: put on your own oxygen mask first," he explained.
To Understand Basic Data
To be fair to Ashleigh, 'in the top 93%' sounds impressive. However, to be equally fair, there's a sentence RIGHT UNDERNEATH that explains exactly what it means. Which is not impressive.
Not gonna trust any online IQ "test". Pretty sure that the reason Donald Trump thinks he's smart.

To Educate And Have Fun 👍
but it COULD be that someone peeled the sticker off a pepper pig puzzle in the toys section and placed it on some goulash in the meat section.That would be hilarious
Load More Replies...Next, positive reframing can help make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear. "The idea here is to find something, anything that did go well or can be spun into a positive," he said. "Don’t fool yourself, but don’t overdo the doom and gloom in the first flush of failure, either. As a wise person ... shared with me once, it’s the broken places where the light comes in."
And lastly, as these pictures illustrate, humor. "Laughing at yourself is a great gift; lightness allows you to rise above the slough of despond and sail on serenely," Dr. Morgan said. Although, "laughing at others’ pratfalls is something I leave to your discretion."
"The point is that once you can laugh at failure it is no longer terminal. You are ready to move on."
To Push Someone's Head Into The Cake
Chopsticks or not, you BETTER think twice before pushing someone into a cake.
...especially at a wedding. Ruining an expensive dress, and the bride's make up, isn't the fun you as an immature boy think it is. It is very disrespectful towards the woman you just said you loved, an in worst case, it can result in a very rapid annulment. (yes those idiots exist)
Load More Replies...if I'm making a cake with several tiers, I'd do this. Gives the cake more support so it doesn't capsize. though normally I use the plastic tubing (poly dowels, I think they're called?) rather than wooden dowels or chopsticks.
In Germany there was once a game show which involved cake throwing at the end. The two hosts would compete against a guest team in different games to earn the cakes, and at the end the losing team would stick their heads trough a cut out and be pelted with cakes by the winners. If a remember correctly the hosts were usually the losers, in like 80 to 90 percent of cases. Edit: After googling the show I learned that the "Cakes" weren´t really cakes, but just whipped egg whites and food coloring.
I think there was once a BP post that mentioned someone who thought their family's tradition of shoving a kid's face into their birthday cake while blowing out the candles was normal. That's bad enough, but the idea that some places would put chopsticks in a cake is horrifying.
Why is that horrifying? A cake is supposed to be cut into pieces and be eaten, the chopsticks would not in any way pose a danger then.

When filling in the ESTA online, be very careful, because when scrolling the yes/no sometimes gets toggled. Happened to a very dear colleague, and he spent some interesting extra hours at JFK when arriving from the Netherlands. The most surprising was that he was let onto the plane, and he was only interrogated after arriving in the US.
Don't know about now but the application for a visa to the US genuinely asked if you intended to attempt to overthrown the government!

To Give “Smart” Advice
I image if one struggles this hard with numbers & counting things, those 365 cents are going to be highly beneficial to their quality of life.
Fun fact, no it isn't. It would barely buy a cup of coffe here.
PSA: If you have one of the older glass style water bottles like the one pictured, don't do this. The weight will cause the bottom to break out when you try to lift it.
Not counting the bottle 365 pennies would weigh 1.3kg - not so bad. On the other hand 36500 (which is what they imply) would be 130kg so yeah, good luck with that!

Jake Paul is an idiot to do this because he'll look like a tool either way. If he wins, he just beat up an old man. If he loses, he got beat up by an old man!
Jake Paul is 27y/o. Mike Tyson is 58. I'm not commenting on anyone's skills but seriously,, a guy in his late 20's versus a guy who has had a lifetime of his body being ravaged by fighting seems like it doesn't turn into bragging rights for Jake Paul. After this will he sign a contract to fight an 8y/o?
How many people wanted to take up professional boxing after Jake Paul became a boxer so they could get the opportunity to punch Jake Paul for all the nonsense he did in his YouTube "career"? Or, comparatively, how many people started watching Jake's matches so they could see him getting punched? I'm not this hateful about people normally, but Jake and his brother are garbage humans.
Oh Please Please!!! I totally agree with G A...Please Mike, get well enough to knock that conceited, Shirley Temple-haired wanker in next week! He's only seconded in how much bulls@$#t he spins by Trump, but even then it's still a close call.

This is the answer I got: “Yes, like all people, Palestinians deserve to be free. The principle of freedom is rooted in human rights, which are universal. This includes the right to self-determination, the right to live in dignity, and the right to have control over their own lives and future. For Palestinians, the struggle for freedom is tied to complex historical, political, and territorial issues. Achieving peace, justice, and freedom for Palestinians and Israelis alike requires a resolution that respects the rights, security, and aspirations of both peoples.”

The land was shared before, why not again? Hamas have also offered to release hostages in exchange for ceasefires etc, but it's been rejected countless times. Makes you question why this genocide is still happening. :(

The first piloted and engine-powered flight of which there is written evidence took place on 14 August 1901 in Connecticut (United States) at the hands of German engineer Gustave Whitehead. Inspired by the designs of his fellow countryman Otto Lilienthal, Whitehead made some adaptations and added a small engine. His longest flight travelled over 2 kilometres and reached a height of around 60 metres after taking off using its own power. But the Wright brothers had a better publicist.

The link below talks about it and has a link to the Variety article where he said it.

Load More Replies...Correlation doesn't mean causation, and I doubt it was 50%. Is that from the Daily Heil?
the 50% part is apparently pretty close. I can't say it is all caused by his statement in the Variety interview. "That means “Space Babies” saw viewership decline by just shy of 45% compared to “The Church on Ruby Road.” “The Devil’s Chord” saw viewership decline by just shy of 49%."
Load More Replies...it's really NOT a fail because the 50% that it allegedly (i don't believe it was actually that high a percentage) dropped by simply aren't wanted in the whovian fandom. Because the reason Ncuti said this was because of homophobic and racist abuse. The doctor hates bigotry!
I'm certainly not homophobic - I'm gay. The last series of Dr Who, I tried, I really did, but it's too juvenile. Disney have obviously put caveats on their investment. Shame, I have been a lifelong fan, but I can't do it any more after the disaster of the Chibnall era and now this. I give up.

Maybe because the protestors themselves were making it all about themselves. They couldn't care less about what's happening to Palestinians any more than they care about the ongoing civil war in Sudan. It's just a cheap and easy way to demonstrating your "Woke" credentials - spend a few days in a pup tent on campus with 30 other wealthy White kids, congratulating each other on how morally superior they are to everybody else. The fact that they don't care if Trump wins (which would be far far worse for the Palestinians), so long as they are able to prove their moral superiority over other White Americans tells me all that I need to know about who they really care about.
I remember there was a huge protest in Miami when I was in college i would catch the news on the bus every day and not once did they mention what they were protesting it drove me nuts

So - not all NFTs are art but I agree the art ones selling for tons of money are stupid.

To Get A 20% Tip. We Had Three Glasses Of Water And Three Drinks. The Server Scribbled Over The Lesser Percentage Options And Circled What Was Expected
Scribble over the 2 and the 7.9 and draw another happy face
Load More Replies...You have to understand tipping culture in the USA. The 15-20% is considered part of the wages. My son works at a restaurant, when he’s working the take out counter he gets $14/hr. When he waits on tables, he gets $8.90/hr + tips. He works at a high end restaurant and can clear $40-50/ hr. He gets a lower wage because the tips are supposed to bring you up to minimum wage and beyond. But people know to tip at expensive restaurants. It’s the poor waiters at the cheaper restaurants like Wafflehouse, etc. And yes, even bars you have 3 drinks at, where the servers get shafted on the tips. It’s not a fair system, I think everyone should be paid minimum wage, but that’s the reality, it’s the “rules”, so tip for goodness sake. HOWEVER, you don’t need to tip at every freaking fast food restaurant and food stand that has the tip screen come up. That’s getting out of hand.
Load More Replies...Do they do this for all of their checks? That sounds like a lot of extra work to me. When I'm rolling with a section of 7-10 tables at a time, I don't have the time to f*****g write on the checks. Just put in good work and the tips will come. Jesus.
If a tip is expected and/or mandatory then it is no longer a tip. It is a portion of the price and should be included in the price. If it's not included then it should be considered false advertising.

However, criticism of Israel similar to that leveled against any other country cannot be regarded as antisemitic."
I was unaware of this bill but upon reading it, I don't see that it says you can't criticize Jews. It talks about not being able to discriminate against... based on... (jew, black etc). Read it and decide for yourself. https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/6090/text

To Keep Men Out
It’s fine if they want to make it women only. Presumptuous on gender, but whatever. Just don’t make it a public exhibit, since this would exclude a fair share of the public. Make it a private, invite-only showing or a private group showing. Can’t have it both ways.
That was necessary to the exhibit as an art act though. The legal action was in effect an attempt to prevent the artwork from existing. It was an exploration of gender privilege, entitlement, etc. (If I remember rightly, the works supposedly kept from men turned out to have been faked for the exhibition... It was all about perceptions.)
Load More Replies...Well ... in Germany and other countries "Women's Houses" exist. Absolutely no men allowed.
But those are banned for men for a complete different reason, the exhibit did it to create a debate

The First Amendment protects us against government limits on our freedom of expression, but it doesn’t prevent private employers, businesses, organizations,, entities, groups, individuals etc from setting their own rules or policies on what speech is accepted.
And to my knowledge, this first amendment does not give the absolute right to say anything about anyone or any subject (like incitement to hatred etc.). It is rather the assurance that the State will not censor opinions or journalistic speeches that do not go in its direction.

Freedom of speech does not mean that you can put up a tent inside a mall, a metrostation, or wherever that is. Camping isn't speaking, and you can't just sneak every action you want to do in under the right to free speech.
Closer investigation will prove this is AI. And freedom of speech is limited - saying "I don't like person XY" is free, "I am going to buy a gun and kill person XY" will have consequences.

To Advocate For Free Speech
To advocate for free speech you need to understand the concept first. It doesn't mean you can spout any old s**t without consequences.
But those consequences aren't levied by the government outside of a very narrow set of restrictions which pertain to threats or incitement of violence or advertising or soliciting illegal activity. Which means while you "might" get your a*s kicked for using a racial slur, the government doesn't have the right to impose legal consequences for doing so, nor do they, or should they have the right to COMPEL the use of specific words in pertaining to anything or anyone. The concept of "free speech" boils down to the ability to think, and to express those thoughts in a productive and useful manner. No one else has the right to dictate the terms of those things.
