The author presents ten creative aspects of failure in the classroom, including creativity being hardwired, marks being a bad indicator of creativity, immersive learning, classic stories, routine learning, trying little untried things, moving from bedtime stories to wake-up stories, appreciating errors, humility, and allowing time for growth. The author presents these aspects through personal anecdotes and activities for the reader to reflect on their own experiences.

Isn’t an easy question. There are going to be grey answers.
There is very little space for yes/no.
Someone’s life journey isn’t yours.
Someone’s journey is an indicator of the possibilities and abilities people have.
Success is very subjective, with the heart asking for joy and happiness.
What Next is an experience in itself where an individual tries, explores, and innovates.
Don’t settle for less, as your story could inspire another possibility that we are yet to embrace.
