RE: Thoughts on feminism, perfectionism and delegation.

in #feminism7 years ago

"If you're not wrong five or ten times an hour, you're not trying."

These are the words I would tell my math students when I taught at the college level. Our society stresses success to the point where young people freeze at the thought of failure. The end result is they often learn to not try rather than risk that failure.

Which is foolish! There is often no upper bound on success, whereas, you can never lose more than you have at any given time. Over the long term, if you want some version of success, the odds are in your favor to try anything.

The above is basically a more abstract way of saying the same thing in your article. You can come out ahead, even if you don't win everything.

Very nice first piece! :)

Funny, for the short time I managed the team at the bank, and they were all so stressed of making mistakes, I told them "Only people who sit and do nothing are the ones who don't make mistakes".
We only learn and grow from our mistakes and stepping out of our comfort zone.

Thank you so much, glad you liked it :)
