What does a Norwegian maple in common with Sir James Dyson, the inventor of the bagless, transparent vacuum is the best selling vacuum cleaner by revenue in the U.S.? None of them gives up.
If I was weeding in my garden and I pull only half Maple seedling, I often wonder if the remaining root has an infinite capacity to send, or (I always hope) this was the last, and the plant now specify. I am notbotanist, but I think I know that the plant is an inexhaustible number of test in it. Do not give up until the season closes.
How many people must learn to weed! We make an effort, we fail, we despair, we surrender. OK, sometimes repeated attempts are unsuccessful, then the desperation and give up. But there are occasional outliers among us, just as an inventor and entrepreneur James Dyson, who persisted through 5,126 prototypes of his vacuum cleanervacuum cleaner that does not work, and then created his first prototype 5127 hours vacuuming very successful. "But he is 15 years old and almost all his savings to his bagless, transparent creative development" (Fast Company, May 2007, in an article entitled "Do not Suck").
I bet my Norway maple weeds have at least 5,127 attempts with them. But how many of us do?
Most of us interpret our "mistakes" as the referendum on our dignity and intelligence. We respond todata simple ("this does not work") with a large emotional response (from the following: frustration, irritation, anger, shame, self-hatred, despair, hopelessness, feeling stuck ...). This reaction may be to us the whole game, then we can never make another attempt, or paralyze us for a while, where a recovery period before they back into the game. Again, it is the emotional reaction slows or stops the process, not the result of thisparticular attempt.
How can you - at least part of the time, especially if appropriate - to answer, such as maple: read data from the (foiled attempt "), skip the emotional reaction, just send another shot Dyson. Or, as James, the answer boils down to: "He did not. At work the next. "How can affect the results you make in your life if you persevere a little 'you now?
COACHING TIPS
The comingmonths:
Pay attention to your "small and large failures
If you notice an emotional response. If so,
- Inventory of emotions
- Observe the effect of this emotion for your actions
Consider the following change in your unique way of:
If you eight voices in an emotional response to a foiled attempt, tell yourself that you have a choice right now, and choose not to respond to the emotional response.
Now considertry again.
Observe what happens when you stay at work a bit 'more than usual.
