Pausch wanted to encourage his students to fail, so they would learn from them and grow. He talked about teaching a course called "Building Virtual Worlds", and influenced his student to attempt hard challenges. He tells how it is good to fail and how it's not good to always have constant success. He awarded a group of students with an award, that signified the failures that were filed but overcame.  ]]> 2018-06-06 13:48:30 UTC https://padlet.com/20hammondj/uuep8mdwvo6w/wish/265879609 Quote #1: "...Failure is not just acceptable, it's often essential" (Pausch 148) 20hammondj https://padlet.com/20hammondj/uuep8mdwvo6w/wish/265879676 Explanation:  Even though it is okay to fail, it is extremely important to.

It is called 'The First Penguin award' and went to the team had took the biggest gamble in trying new ideas or new technology, while failing to achieve their stated goals."
