A project that I have planned out
has had some successes and failures along the way. I decided to make a YouTube
channel about 1 year ago. I still am doing it today. Planning out how to set up
my YouTube channel was a complete success because it kind of just happened
before my eyes. For fun I decided to make some videos (this was before I started
my YouTube channel). Then when my Mom saw them she thought that I should post
them online for the public to see. I thought that was a great idea. So it didn’t
take so long to figure out name for it because just like before...It just came
to me. But during the posting of all the videos to this present day there are
some successes and some failures.
When I first started my YouTube
channel I just posted randomly whenever I wanted (that changed later on). I
would plan out what I would do before each of my videos. Some of them I would
get done with and say to myself that it wasn’t such a good video and so I
decided to not post some. Sometimes I can be a little bit of a perfectionist
and I could say that the video wasn’t so good when it probably was okay to post
but I just didn’t think so. Some videos that I make I feel so good about it and
I can’t wait to post it. So there are some ups and downs to making my videos.
I now do videos with a voiceover
connected to it. That is just when I tape my video and not say anything during
filming. After that I put the video in an editing program and tape my voice to
go along with it. When I do voiceover to be honest, I don’t plan out any of it,
but it still comes out great. Not planning it just works for me because I have
an idea of what I want to say during the video and I just say it off the top of
my head. But sometimes I do have to do it over and over because I do make some
mistakes here and there.
Before, I mentioned that I decided
to just randomly post my videos, but now I planned out that I want to post my
videos every Thursday. I think having a
scheduled time is a great idea, but for the past few weeks I haven’t been
posting every Thursday. So I do slack on that which is not a very good thing.
That is one of my failures recently with my YouTube channel. But I am going to
try to get back on track with that schedule soon.
When I compare my successes and
failures to the crusader's successes and failures I think that it is very
similar in a way. The crusaders had failures and successes all throughout every
one of their battles. I have had successes and failures all throughout my
journey with my YouTube channel.
Sometimes when you plan out things (like how maybe the crusaders planned
out their battles) they don’t come out the way you expected them to or it did
come out the way you expected it to, it’s all trial and error. You don’t know
how something is going to work out unless you do try, its okay if you take a
risk for your plan to come out as a failure but that just means you learned
something coming out of it. You might have learned how you could have done
something a bit different than you did with your original plan. So that’s how I
compare my successes and my failures to the crusader's successes and failures.
