Finding Success in Failure
This title sounds contradictory and phony.
It is a contrarian kind of word, but it is not
phony!
No matter how hard we try in work or in
business to keep from making mistakes or
failing at something, we will have failures.
Isn't it better to look at a business/work
failure in the terms of moving towards
eventual success, rather than flail around
with oneself because success is not instan-
taneous?
How we look at failure is puzzling. We know
that a failure is an event that will not last for-
ever, but somehow we have a perfectionistic
attitude that it is permanent. How to get
around this "I won't fail attitude"?
I think that one of the best ways is to under-
stand the impermanence of anything and
dare to risk without looking for perfection,
the first time out! Maybe there will be a
failure today and a success tomorrow. It
will eventually even itself out if we risk and
trust in the outcome.
Are You a "Job Snob?"
I want to define what I think a job snob is. It is someone who thinks thathe/she is indispensable to the business where he/she works. It is someone who thinks that an educational degree gives one more clout in the workplace. A job snob does not socialize with other employees nor participate much in work site politics, except to cultivate those in higher positions.
