OT: How do you respond to your failures? |
I'm not really sure what I'm asking.
Anyway, when you do something with a failing result, what is the first
thing you would do about it?
Thinking before responding is allowed because you can't get an answer
without thinking.

Doesn't it depend on what you've failed at?
If I try to do something that's physically
beyond me, e.g., move or lift something that's
just too heavy for me, I'll wait until I can get help
from someone else. Or, if the item can be
disassembled and reassembled, I might try that.
If I try to do something like a new recipe and
it doesn't come out right, I might try it again
or I might add it to my "avoid this recipe" list.
I mean, life's too short to worry about some
"failures".
It's also a matter of knowing your own
capabilities and have some idea of cultural
norms. Those who assert "you can do
anything if you try hard enough" are smoking
dope. When I was interested in joining the
military back in the 1960s, trust me when I
tell you there were a lot of jobs that were
closed to me, many of which are now open
to women. Times change.

Okaay, I thought this was a discussion among
equals, not a reaching out for people who need
dispensation from the pope or whoever you
(think you) are...
Bottom line, your response to my post was
condensending. I said nothing zip zero about
feeling a need to explain justify or "forgive"
myself for my "failings". Personally I think
people who always freak out about their
failings belong in a nuthouse.
I am fortunate to have a mostly pragmatic
outlook on life. And I don't want or need
forgiveness from a n y o n e.

In my current situation, suicide is something that is always at the
forefront of my thinking. But in my particular case, suicide means final
victory for my Christian opponents. The thought that things nearly 'always'
get better at some point in a person's life has restrained me. I also think
back to that story of a French chef who felt he wouldn't get his 3 stars in
the Michelin Guide. Out of despair he committed suicide the night before his
restaurant was awarded 3 stars in the Michelin Guide. *That* would be the
sort of thing that would happen to *me* should I commit suicide, I sometimes
feel. (I use to be a passionate cook with the cooking gear to match. All
gone in the fire -- that *deliberately* set fire, it now appears to be.)
One other 'setback' was when I was 'cut' from a semi-pro football team after
apparently making the squad. I actually cried at a point during the bus-ride
home. (And I do *not* cry. Well maybe once in a blue moon.) But then after
thinking things over, I came to the satisfactory conclusion that there was a
simple reason why I got cut. They found a receiver who was better than me,
and clearly so to boot. And then I thought to myself: How many of your
'buds' have even come 'close' to playing on a quality semi-pro football
team. My only *real* failure from *that* episode in my life is that I wanted
to become a receiver coach at a certain point up here. What stopped me? The
bottle. (Make that a *lot* of them.) We bring it upon ourselves at time,
don't we?
If it's things that are out your control that has led to 'failure', I take
the advice from the title of a 'Queens of the Stone Age' song and just, 'Go
with the Flow'. If it wasn't your fault, it wasn't your fault. You'll end up
bobbing back up like a rubber duck in your bathtub. (I just hope it ain't
*yours*.)
As for me and my 'failure' out here: Time will tell. One cannot take a
pummeling indefinitely. But in any event, I will have given it my best.
Can't do better than *that* now, can you?

Just dismiss the idea of suicide. Keep refining your approach, and you
stay good while getting greater. You're better than some people
already. Have pity on them and continue your refinement. That's all
anyone can do.

Thinking before responding is allowed because you can't get an answer

Figure out why you're failing and what to do about it. Find a different
approach. Rethink your goals. Reassess your resources.
If you can't win the game, play a different game.

Lately I've taken to turning around & trying again.
This isn't always the most efficient way to go about things ("the
moment/point is gone"), but if anything I feel I should react this
way more often and not less...

Yep. Retrying with different approaches is the right way, maybe not
the expedient way. To me it's also the best way.

Thinking before responding is allowed because you can't get an answer
without thinking.

"AWWW *****, I REALLY FUCKED THAT UP DIDN'T I?"
Is my usual first response. Then I apologize the the rest of the cube
zombies around me, call the user base to tell them the database will be
down for "maintenance" and get to work on fixing my screw up.

Figure out what went wrong and take corrective action, of course.

Examine the failure, determine what caused it, and if possible, try
again.
Not to say that I don't occasionally take a moment to curse or get
angry, but after that, I look for what went wrong.

Venting isn't a bad thing as long as it isn't done to people who
haven't caused the trouble. Vent before the stress buildup makes you
do something rash.
Once you've released, you're better off to analyze.
In W.C. Fields "never give a sucker an even break" , Gloria-Jean is
about to throw a rock as some boy that hit her. He said" count to ten"
She counted, and became visibly relaxed. WC then told her "Now throw
it, you'll have better aim".
