"One thing that is always in our control... is our ability to identify what we can do better now and in the future." - Jim Tressel
In follow-up to yesterday's post, I do remember that some of my most grandiose mistakes were the result of "crucial conversations," usually with me on the receiving end of some criticism. My traditional mistaken reaction in those situations is to overtalk it, to the point where my shortcomings seem to be a disproportionately high part of who I am. Someday, I tell myself, and ideally the next time - I will just respond with "Thanks for caring enough about me to give me that feedback," and then gracefully move on. The day that I do, I'll be posting about it!
