I am not good at my job. I really shouldn't care. I have already worked for them for a week and a half, and I think that I have at least another two days to get my act together and start being good at my job before losing it. In that time I will have made a whole lot more money that I would have had I not had the job.
Still, I am not used to failure. I am so often so successful with things that I work towards.
One of the interview questions that I have encountered several times over the last year or so, as I have looked for jobs has been, "How do you deal with failure or major dissapointment?"
I have always maintained that I am good at putting things in to perspective. Not everything that I work towards is going to work out, but in the grand scheme of things, it isn't a very big deal. Further there is something to be gained from every failure.
Now I am trying to practice that in real life.
