That 'TIPPING POINT'!

 

Tough cookie question here:  WHAT separates those WHO fail versus those WHO succeed.  To put things in perspective, almost all studies showed that, up front, nothing sets apart people as almost all of us are exposed to similar opportunities, even similar risks along the way.  BUT ones people end up either as a failure OR success, the blurred differentiations become clearer.  Regardless, everything boils down to learning from one's mistakes, LIKE for instance, continuing to improve the painting an artist is laboring rather than scrapping them altogether, OR recognizing which sections OR scripts of the developed codes need to be rewritten OR even redesigned!!!

I thought I should share this quotable quote from the late Philippines philanthropist Henry Sy because it says all that has to be said.  BUT besides learning and picking up lessons for each failed attempt, psychologists have coined that 'TIPPING POINT' WHICH defines our ability to build on our earlier attempts and for us to be at that 'TIPPING POINT', experts say it should be at least a hair above the threshold💚💛💜

Otherwise, we might be doomed to keep churning out failure after failure forever.  Researchers opined that people on those two sides of the threshold could be the same kind of people BUT alas, they might likely end up with two totally different outcomes.  Using that insight, researchers were able to successfully predict an individual's long-term success with just a small amount of information about that person's initial attempts.  A growing body of research does support the idea that FAILURE can make one better off in the long run.  Another study even showed that an early career setback will often set us up for a later success💥💥💥

BUT before we jump with endless exhilaration, stories told over and over again [LIKE those kof JK Rowling, Henry Ford amongst others], our road to SUCCESS typically involves more than just a single setback.  Bluntly, we just DON'T fail once.  Instead, we fail OVER and OVER again.  And WHILE that litany of failures may make the MUSKs of the world better off, it seems to thwart many other people❎❎❎

Our takeaway:  Listening to experts, they theorized that SUCCESS must be the result of one OR two basic phenomena, LEARNING OR LUCK.  Successful people are either improving steadily in their area over time OR they are the beneficiaries of chance.  BTW, if WINs are primarily the result of chance, all attempts are equally likely to either SUCCEED OR FAIL, just like a toss coin.  Key thing here is that if are are to learn from our FAILED attempts, let us learn more incorporating components of the FAILED attempts into the later attempts TILL you succeed.  That TIPPING POINT should lead us to succeed, eventually😌😌😌
