Have you ever been grateful for failing at something? Honestly, I can’t say I have. I’m one of those persons who likes to succeed at everything I do, even if it’s something I don’t like. But here’s the real question:
Does this bring me confidence?
Once again, in all honesty, the answer is no.
As I said a couple weeks ago, one of the things I’ve learned from my coach, Dan Walters (EP 42) is that I have to set aside my ego before confidence has a real chance to grow. And that’s really what my obsession with “success” is—an attempt to inflate my ego, at the cost of real confidence and joy.
One of the things I loved about what Eric says here is that he wasn’t afraid to fail, or that even if he was at the time, he has the confidence to look back and say that failure was a good thing, even a welcome thing. Because what he’d continued to succeed at something he didn’t like? At something he wasn’t meant for? Well, I can tell ya this: we wouldn’t have this plate of delicious Gochujang Butter Noodles. 🙂
You can find the full recipe on the NYT’s cooking page, but you cook some spaghetti (or ramen noodles) and make the sauce by mixing butter, a TON of garlic, gochujang, brown rice syrup (my sub for honey), and sherry/rice vinegar with a healthy splash of pasta water. Garnish with scallions/cilantro (I subbed in parsley).

what is that red sauce? Tomato?
Listening to this with my earphones had me tripping out for a sec 😂
White Genocide am i right?
Sunk cost fallacy 😭😭😭
In the last week I failed part of and quit masters program and while it was the right thing to do it's hurting and I very much needed to hear this
Sunk cost fallacy is so hard to fight!
Yep 😊
this came up right when I'm frustrated with my job and having first thoughts of quitting…..is this a coincidence 😂
Thank you so much for this video, i'm literally crying right now it's stupid bruh I'm currently in studies that make me sad like i don't want to be here, i don't want to keep going but i know that i would feel so bad to stop. It's just been half a month that I opened up to my best friends and they said that I should stop and change at the end of the year but, even if I'm decided right now, I know that my stupid ass can change her opinion at the last minute because hey why not ? I did one year I can do the other one no? Ergh fuck
I love your videos 😍 I'm a huge fan 💗 can you please reply to my comments
My left ear thoughly enjoyed that.
I wish I would’ve failed when I had the chance
I'm not there yet lol 😆 still feeling a way…
Giving something up decisively takes lots of courage. And, you worked hard. Fighting.

What if I fail in something that I really want to do? Should I just try to look for something else? Does it mean that I’m not good at the thing I really want? Should I quit and find something else that’s better for me… am I not fit for the thing I really want to do
I loooooooove pasta
Rn I'm in this exact place in my life. The courage that it takes to let go and give up something u r stuck with is really underrated. The fear of being 'called' a failure when it's actually not a failure it's just the natural process of trial n error is holding me back from alot of experiences. I'm just 19 but the fact that I'm scared of failure when I'm suppose to find myself through such trials n errors
Man, I just dropped out of a class that was taking way too much of my time, so I really needed to hear this! <3
Literally made that this last weekend, less the honey. It was palate magic!
Holy crap! That looks so good!
❤❤❤
Yep, the sunk cost fallacy can apply to everyone not just gamblers.
Failure is the path to success
Pain is an life lesson to victory
Trust me i learnt it through experience
I want nothing more than to sit and eat a bowl of this and chat with you!!! ❤
gochujang pasta is so good i’d love to make it again
I love that you talk about failing in an aspect beyond negativity. I feel today that a lot of people view failing as negative but it is apart of learning.
💙
I'm making that tomorrow.
i actually really needed to hear this today-
