Celebrate even when you fail.
Even when you end up fourth, and only the first three get a medal.
Write a story that makes you a winner.
Think of a way to elevate your performance.
Build the stepping stone for your future success.
How do you feel about those trying to succeed where you have failed?
It is natural to approach this with negativity. Certainly, someone achieving what you could not achieve will mean you are not good enough. It will put a spotlight on your shortfall. It will make others think less of you. It will make way for negative comments. It will preclude future opportunities.
That’s not so. And you are better off if you not measure your worth by comparison with others.
Think instead: how can I help them, so that they will not make the same mistakes I have made?
And: what can I learn from their process, so that I will be more ready next time?
Sometimes a situation just turns out to have the worst possible outcome, and you could have told from the beginning.
You had spotted the discomfort in approaching it, the signals, the opposition of others. You had noticed that nothing was going the way it was supposed to. You had called it difficult, wrong, impossible. You had said many times you were giving it your best, and despite that, you could not see any improvement. You had wanted to quit and give up, in different occasions, and yet stayed in it until the very, inevitable, tragic ending.
This is self-sabotaging.
When you set out to figure out how to control your employees more closely – checking how much time they spend in meetings, measuring how many breaks they take during the day, asking for what reasons they are taking time off -, you have problems that no surveillance system in the world can fix.
Trust leads engagement.
Once you have put something out in the world, it is your responsibility to ensure it is used in a proper way.
Shifting the responsibility to users and customers is just spineless.
