There is a lot we can learn from children when it comes to feedback, especially the really young ones.  Have you noticed how frustrated kids can get when they are trying to learn a new skill and how angry they are when they fail.  They might throw a tantrum, cry or even pull back and away.  But if they are young enough, before they have been conditioned otherwise, they eventually come back and try again.  Once the peak of the frustration is worn off these kids come back to the skill and try again.  This pattern is repeated over and over gain until they gain proficiency in the skill.  Could you imagine for a moment if a baby would give up trying to walk after only 1 or 2 attempts!  But as we grow up and age we become reticent about failure and afraid of the reaction others might have to our failures. We let our ego rule our experience.  But once we reimagine failure as learning, and understand how our ego has hijacked our life experiences we may be able to have a little bit more of a growth mindset rather than a fixed one.

The difference between average people and achieving people is their perception of and response to failure. John C. Maxwell

Failure happens all the time. It happens every day in practice. What makes you better is how you react to it. Mia Hamm

My grandmother once told me, ‘Don`t let failure go to your heart and don’t let success go to your head.' Will Smith
