Nanyang Essay

Describe a time when you failed at what you set out to do. What insights did you obtain from the experience? Did this experience create a paradigm shift in your definition of failure (400 word limit)
Hi Jon / Precision Essay,
Thanks for the helping us out here on BTG . Could You please advise us on this Nanyang Essay
Describe a time when you failed at what you set out to do. What insights did you obtain from the experience? Did this experience create a paradigm shift in your definition of failure (400 word limit)
Could this be about an incident in which the applicant does a task a wrong way and he upsets the client . Things turn out to be the opposite what he expected .He is chastised .He is obliged to redo things to ameliorate the situation and satisfy the client . In the process he learns lessons.
Would this qualify as a failure or a mistake.
Could you please advise on this essay . I find this difficult because normally anyone would retry things at which they fail

Sure thing. For example you could say:
Before, I thought failure was doing wrong facing the client.
After, I realized that at some point everybody does wrong, and the important is not to never to wrong but to fix it when you do.

That's only ONE option though, and there are hundreds of valid things you could say (only choose one though). The important thing is to show a CHANGE though.
