About this episode

Dr. Riley discusses the importance of finding the good in past failures using the life of Sir Winston Churchill as an example.

To be human is to err and make mistakes. People do well, when they find ways to see the good in past failures, setbacks, and loss. In this episode, Dr. Riley (from collegeapp101.com) uses the life of Sir Winston Churchill to conclude this topic. Though extremely successful in life, Churchill also endured several setbacks. This episode focuses on the bright side of some of them and is encouragement for college bound students to focus on the bright side of their own failures.
