Americans Learn to Succeed by Learning From Failure


America succeeds because Americans fail and forgive. That’s the intriguing message — or part of it — of Megan McArdle’s new book “The Up Side of Down: Why Failing Well Is the Key to Success.”


McArdle, a Bloomberg blogger and columnist, stands out among economic writers, and not just because she’s the only woman among them who is 6 feet 2 inches. She combines a shrewd knowledge of economics and practical experience with a writing style that every so often segues into comedy monologue.


Americans fail a lot, she argues. Most new businesses fail. Most predictions are wrong. As the screenwriter William Goldman wrote about Hollywood, “Nobody knows anything.”


And attempts to guard against failure can result in greater failures later on. Children prevented from roughhousing at recess may engage in riskier behavior later. Antibiotic overuse makes bacteria resistant to antibiotics, which then don’t work when you really need them.


But good judgment comes from experience. And experience comes from bad judgment — from failures. The key question is how you respond, whether you learn from failure and rebound.


Drawing from pre-history, McArdle contrasts farmers and foragers, the hunter-gatherers who lived before the development of agriculture.


Foragers tend to share success with neighbors, in the expectation that others will share later. They see success as the result of luck — the hunter who happens to spy a particularly vulnerable mammoth.


Farmers tend to share success only with family members. They see success — a plenteous harvest — as the result of their own families’ hard work and conscientiousness. They see no reason to share it with the lazy and feckless.


Americans, in McArdle’s view, have values like those of farmers. Much more than Europeans, they believe that there is a connection between effort and reward. Those who have earned more deserve it.


Europeans tend to believe that success comes mostly from luck. They enlist government to, in President Obama’s words to Joe the Plumber, “spread the wealth around.”


But in some respects, Americans behave like foragers. They’re often ready to forgive failures. High-tech entrepreneurs like to hire people whose businesses failed because it shows a willingness to take chances.


The U.S., McArdle points out, has the most accessible bankruptcy laws in the world. You can slough off your debts (except for student loans) relatively easily. In supposedly progressive Denmark, they hang over you for life.


The result is that, contrary to F. Scott Fitzgerald’s adage, there are many, many second acts in American life.
Americans also, though McArdle doesn’t mention this, donate far more to charity than Europeans do. Great philanthropists have created beneficial institutions — Andrew Carnegie’s libraries, John D. Rockefeller’s research medical schools, many donors’ universities — which Europe can’t match.


McArdle mostly ignores religion, but this blend of farmer property-owning and forager sharing is in line with Christian teaching. There is such a thing as sin, and it should be penalized. But there is also the possibility of forgiveness and redemption and a duty to share in your own way.


Though not technically part of the millennial generation (those born after 1980), McArdle presents a Millennials’ view of the world.


Sudden macroeconomic shifts can result in months of soul-deadening unemployment (she was working in IT just as the dot-com bubble burst).


The future is wildly unpredictable, failure is frequent, success seemingly serendipitous (her freelance blogging got her a job blogging at the Economist).


Her advice is to avoid enterprises that are in long-term decline, such as General Motors starting in the 1970s.


In business and public policy, try to learn from well-conducted experiments — but recognize that successful trials can’t always be replicated on a large scale.


Don’t rush to conclude that disasters like the 2008 financial crash are the result of conspiracy or the errors of one easily identified group of malefactors. Bubbles happen in any free market economy and are hard to identify until they burst.


“The world is an increasingly insecure place,” she writes, “and there is no way to make it less risky.”


The best way ahead is to admit mistakes quickly, understand that you may well fail, but you can usually rebound and punish rule-breaking promptly and consistently but lightly.


This book about people who fail is also a book about how a nation succeeds. The “American Bourgeois Synthesis,” McArdle writes, is good but not perfect, promoting entrepreneurship but over-penalizing some mistakes.


Americans — and America — can succeed, but only if people learn from their failures.

5 things we"re learning from Christie-Paul spat




  • War of words between Rand Paul and Chris Christie reflects division among Republicans

  • Paul represents conservative-libertarian wing of the party, Christie represents moderates

  • GOP strategist predicts Republican primaries will look ‘a lot like a cage match’

  • Was Paul’s ‘king of bacon’ comment about Christie’s weight?



Washington (CNN) — A very public squabble between two top Republican politicians who might be leading contenders for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination has grabbed clicks online and airtime on cable news.


The war of words between New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky over national security, civil liberties and federal spending is also a proxy for the bigger battle for the future of the Republican Party.


Here are five things we’re learning from their spat.


1. The fight for the 2016 GOP nomination is under way


It’s only the summer of 2013, but the intensity of the exchanges between Christie and Paul makes it feel like late 2015 in some ways, with the start of the caucus and primary season just weeks away.


The back and forth started last week when Christie, at a forum in Colorado with other GOP governors, slammed Paul for his criticism of government surveillance to battle terrorists.


“This strain of libertarianism that’s going through parties right now and making big headlines, I think, is a very dangerous thought,” Christie said.


Asked if Paul was one of the people he was pointing toward, Christie added: “You can name any number of people and he’s one of them.”





Fighting for the GOP’s heart and soul?

Paul pushed back.


“I’m the one trying to grow the party by talking about libertarian ideas of privacy and the Internet and attacking me isn’t helping the party. He’s hurting the party,” Paul said in an interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer on “The Situation Room.”


Rep. Peter King of New York, who’s also considering a run for the White House, also jumped into the fray with comments critical of the libertarian-leaning senator.


“He wants to retreat from the world. He wants to isolate ourselves, go back to a fortress America,” King told Blitzer on Wednesday.

2. This is far from over


While this round may be finished, others are sure to follow.


On Wednesday, Paul made a pitch for the two men to sit down and talk it out, hoping to ease tensions.


“I’m inviting him to a beer — anytime he would like to come down and sit down at the pub right around the corner from the Senate,” Paul said in an interview on Fox News, adding that proposed get-together didn’t have to be in the nation’s capital.


“We could always negotiate a middle ground like Philadelphia maybe,” said Paul.


That didn’t seem to fly with the tough-talking governor.


“I’m running for re-election in New Jersey, I don’t really have time for that at the moment. If I find myself in Washington, I’ll certainly look him up,” Christie said in a radio interview on New Jersey 101.5. “But I’ve got work to do here.”


Expect the action to pick up again in the future.


“This is just the beginning. This is not going to stop,” CNN Chief National Correspondent John King said.


GOP strategist and CNN contributor Ana Navarro agreed.


“I think we are going to end up with a Republican primary that looks a lot like a cage match,” she said.


3. War of words illustrates bigger battle


Sure, this is about 2016, but it’s also about a much bigger fight for the future of the GOP.


Most Republicans agree: Major changes are needed if the party wants to be competitive in future presidential elections. But a new poll of Republicans nationwide also indicates that there’s little agreement on the direction the GOP should take.


That’s playing out in the fireballs between Christie and Paul: The New Jersey governor represents the more traditional establishment wing of the party, with Paul the standard-bearer for the libertarian and grassroots conservative/tea party wing.


With losses in the last two presidential elections still stinging, two-thirds of Republicans questioned in the Pew Research Center poll say that the GOP needs to address major problems to do better in future presidential contests.


Three in 10 disagree, saying the party just needs to address minor problems. Along those lines, nearly six in 10 say the party needs to reconsider some positions, with 36% saying the GOP needs to make a stronger case for its current policies.


Rep. King: Rand Paul shouldn’t be face of GOP


But there’s less agreement on what the path the party should take.


By 54%-40% margin, Republican and Republican-leaning voters say party leaders should move in a more conservative direction, with four in 10 urging a more moderate direction.


“Not surprisingly, conservatives and those who agree with the tea party overwhelmingly favor moving in a more conservative direction, while moderates and liberals would like to see the party take more centrist positions. Yet the more moderate wing of the party is a minority generally, and makes up an even smaller share of the likely primary electorate,” Pew said in releasing the poll.


King said that ensures a “spirited debate” in the months ahead. “They have to deal with the immigration issue again. They have that ditch with Latino voters. Taxes and spending.”


McCain: Tough choice between Clinton and Rand Paul


4. Chris Christie doesn’t pull punches


Yes, we knew this. But this episode reminds us of how blunt Christie can be.


While Paul seemed on Wednesday to be trying to bring the scuffle to an end, Christie held his ground.


“At the end of the day, I didn’t call him any names, yet he called me names,” Christie said in his radio interview Wednesday. “I just have to assume from that that he’s just trying to get attention.”


Christie was talking about his initial comments that sparked the feud, adding: “It really had nothing to do with Senator Paul, but Senator Paul wanted to make it about Senator Paul,” Christie added.


Christie speaks his mind, which appeals to voters, and not just Republicans. While Paul has a higher favorable rating among Republicans than Christie, according to the Pew poll, Christie has crossover appeal with Independents and Democrats that Paul can’t match.


5. Did Paul go there?


Paul accused Christie of harming national security by hoarding federal relief money for Superstorm Sandy victims. Christie responded by calling on Paul to cut federal pork spending in Kentucky.


“But I doubt he would because most Washington politicians only care about bringing home the bacon so that they can get re-elected,” Christie charged on Tuesday.


Paul responded later in the day on “The Situation Room,” saying, “This is the king of bacon talking about bacon.”


Was there more to Paul’s “bacon” comment than just pork spending?


Paul advisers say it had nothing to do with Christie’s weight, which was an issue when he first ran for governor in 2009. While it’s not a problem for Christie as he appears to cruise towards re-election, it will most definitely come up again and again if he opts to run for the White House.

Schooling is basic requirement to humankind. People need education to equip them with the skills required to survive. During schooling, one meets with people of different natures.

Different Classroom Organization Ideas For Teachers

For students, classrooms are like second homes. Feeling comfort in staying here is needed to make learning more fun and rewarding. One job of a teacher is to make sure that his or her students feel really at ease when coming here. For this reason, they look for several classroom organization ideas to make their rooms more lively.

There are many creative ways by which you can make your classrooms a pleasant place to be in. Some teachers, especially those working for elementary schools, are adept in such techniques. There are those that tend to be environmental and use recycled materials. There are also those that are more personal and let their students decide on the design.

For those in elementary schools, rooms need to be interactive at the same time fun. It also has to be designed in a way to maximize the learning capacity of children. You should at least post different learning aides like posters of animals, shapes, numbers, and maps either on walls or on the floor. You only have to make sure that these are covered during exams to avoid cheating.

You should also place decorations that are made by the kids themselves such as art crafts and some of their drawings. When you are teaching art, you can make projects which they will both enjoy and use as decor for their rooms as well. If you are not an art teacher, you can actually ask those who do to plan some creative methods by which the children will be able to make their own decorations for the room.

In order to make your rooms livelier, it is best to go with the current trend. You can ask from your own students on the popular trends and plan on creating something out of it. One example would be creating your own class social networking page where the students can post things about themselves in.
