I work with special needs children who I talk with all day long for positive reinforcement, behavior training and many more things. It helps remind me when my emotions are getting the best of me because I stutter more especially when I'm faced with a new situation. When a student is in crisis having the wherewithal to understand I need to take a breath as much as they do helps a lot. You will never be a disappointment as long as you are trying. A not so wise man once quoted some hockey guy. "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." -Wayne Gretsky -Micheal Scott I think the true meaning of failure isn't not getting something that is difficult especially on the first try. Failure is when you give up trying. So keep your head high don't give up and you will get what you want.
