"Legend of Failure" is a project to place 1,000 personal failure stories of around 300 characters each on the trays of the SFC co-op cafeteria. This project was proposed by alumnus Daisuke Yanagisawa and is being carried out by SFC alumni volunteers with the cooperation of Professor Yutaka Murabayashi of the Faculty of Policy Management.
SFC is taking on the challenge of creating a new form of learning called Miraisozojuku (Institute for Designing the Future) .
We launched this donation project, "Legend of Failure," with the following thoughts in mind: "We want to support SFC's challenges," "but just donating is boring," and "we want to make a donation that is meaningful to current students." This project was born from the desire for students to read the failure stories of their seniors and feel that "it's okay to fail," hoping it will give them the courage and strength to take on new challenges.
Ahead of their appearance on the trays of the SFC co-op cafeteria, we are introducing some of the brave "Legends of Failure" on our website, so please take a look. Also, look forward to the "Success Probability for Today" that accompanies each legend of failure.
