The grading system in schools is one of the biggest problems in this regard; it conditions people into thinking that you have to always get good grades and never slip up in order to achieve anything, effectively turning us into paper-pushing machines. Mastery and understanding (which come from doing and failing) should be focused on rather than a numerical abstraction of what we think knowledge is. We should embrace failure as something to bounce back and learn from, not as something we need to avoid.

quoting nevent1q…02xv

Winners aren't born, they're made... through lots of losing.

It's the people that aren't used to losing that lose big in the end.
