The Myth of Failure: Just Try Anyway | Janna Lahmamsi | TEDxAmerican School of Marrakesh

In this heartfelt and empowering talk, a senior at ASM challenges the way we perceive failure. Through personal stories—from a science fair experiment gone wrong to reflections on missed chances—she reframes failure not as defeat, but as a powerful tool for growth, learning, and resilience. Drawing inspiration from historical figures who turned rejection into success, she encourages peers to embrace uncertainty, take risks, and redefine what it means to succeed. This talk is a call to action for every dreamer afraid to try: failure isn’t real—it’s just the beginning of something extraordinary. Hello! My name is Janna Lahmamsi, a senior at ASM. I’m excited to announce that I will be a speaker at the TEDx event, as well as Head of Finance. The topic of this event is "Fail & Sail: Learning from Mistakes", so I will be sharing my thoughts on whether or not failure is a real thing. I’m very excited, and can’t wait to share this experience with everyone! This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
