            Reframing success and failure

            How to learn and do new things, overcoming familiarities and fears

            • Focus, Fixed state ↔ Flexibility

            Process and progress vs. perfectionism

            Looking forward, have faith that

            • It will work out when we put a good effort forward, even if it doesn’t look feasible at first
            • People are there to support you, with good feedback to discover flaws together
            • You will learn new things and how to adapt, growing your flexibility
