Another lesson from Masterclass by Mellody Hobson's where she say's - I believe people can see success and mistake it for always representing good times. It's the critical moment of failure or difficulty that actually becomes the biggest stepping stone to success. And they're actually necessary components of success.

It's so true in so many ways. When working on teams or projects we often face situations where we might not know everything we do is correct and some of it may be experiments which sometimes might fail. But those failures become the stepping stones for growth and success as you learn what doesn't work. In those moments what I usually do is to

• Write down what didn't work

• Understand why it didn't work

• Reflect on what I could do differently next time

I believe that failures or difficult situations help in learning and exposure to more experiences which helps in growth. Another great takeaway from the lesson by Mellody -

"When you're in a storm you never look up at the storm. If you look up at the storm you will fall. The only thing you do in a storm is you watch your feet so that you can figure out how to get to the next place where you need to be"

What are things that you do when you go through such experiences?
