Please don’t leave us hanging about that book you mention. I missed all your comments on it.

Quite true. I think we are conditioned to see the flaws in many areas of life. For instance even the fittest of athletes will still see an ounce of flab. A cook will most often say “I think it needed more salt, or it came out kind of dry”. Even though in the eyes of others they appear perfect.

Looking at things with a more positive and less critical eye will help any flaw auto correct.

No problem Steve! The post is a reminder for my readers as much as it is for me too. Cheers Steve!

You are absolutely right Pat. People sometimes go over the things that went wrong and too frustrated that they forget to see that good things that happened. It’s on the mentality of every person. Good thing you pointed this out on your post, many people forget about this thing. Me too.. lol. Thanks for reminding me and all the people that we should concentrate on the good things now rather than be frustrated on the bad side.

I talk about 4HWW all of the time! If you haven’t read that yet, go read it now, because it’s life changing. At least it was for me, and I’m sure many others here would agree.

Thanks!

Great points, David. And the hard part is, it’s tough to generate our own, unbiased report cards that we can learn from. The report card is great because it tells you how well or not well you are doing at something, which can be improved on for the later assessment. We should make ones for ourselves for the same reason, but it’s tough. A coach is a great solution for that.

Thanks David!

So true, Jackie. I think it’s engrained in our heads as children in school to think that failure is bad and we should do everything we can to avoid it, when really we shouldn’t be afraid of failure at all – or else we’re never going to progress and, as you said, “really go for it”.

True! But, what do people think about that person after they miss the dunk? Usually it’s something like, “You Suck!”, when really they have mad skills.
