“Ambition! A simple word, yet so many multi-prognostics! At the outset, it arouses an array of positive emotions; zeal, success, energy, rise, achievement, forward, bright, shining, higher, respect etc. But there is another side too; defeat, listless, failure, slump, disgrace…and such.”

“The Picard principle is the adage that “It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness; that is life.” This principle denotes that even if you follow the best course of action available to you, you can sometimes still end up with a negative outcome, such as failure to achieve your goals. For instance you can submit a strong application for a job, and get rejected because the person who assessed the application already had a preferred candidate in mind. This principle helps you assess situations more rationally and cope with negative emotions, for instance when you would otherwise criticize yourself too harshly for a failure that wasn’t your fault. The risks of this principle are that it can lead you to avoid taking responsibility in cases where you should, and that it can cause feelings of frustration and helplessness.”

“Failure is an inevitable part of the human experience. It's how we respond to failure that ultimately defines us. In the face of failure, it takes everything to stay resilient, to pick ourselves up and try again, even when the odds are stacked against us. It requires perseverance & a refusal to be defined by our mistakes. It demands that we embrace failure as an opportunity for growth, learning, and self-improvement, rather than as a reflection of our worth or abilities. For it is through our failures that we learn the most profound lessons about ourselves and our capacity for greatness.”
