Reply to comment by Some_Outcome3741 in [image] We can't avoid making mistakes, but we can learn a lot from them. by _Cautious_Memory

"I don't know what you're trying to say."

It's okay if you are unclear about something. You ask someone to clarify. Nowhere have I suggested that you don't practice to get better after failing. My point is that (and I'll use your term) before "game time", you have to make sure that you are practicing the right way with the right techniques. That's the reason people have coaches and teachers to model how to do something properly. They are also there to point out what you are doing right and doing wrong during your practice, so you can correct your mistakes. "Cry"? I have no idea where you get that from, but there is no shame in crying if that makes you feel better before you try again.

I even highlighted the Review part and you still missed it!

I'm referring to crying like what one does when they quit because they cant win. Unsportsmanlike, will only play if they're winning.

It's like you have to argue, even though you agree with me completely, I just don't agree with the way you said it you still need to produce some word salad of why you're right and I'm wrong.

We agree my flowchart is better, assuming you didn't like the one I drew up for the participation trophy winners.

I do get what you're saying, it's hard to change your slap shot because a coach said you're doing it wrong after taking 100,000 shots. Un-training and then re-training is a lot harder than training, but when we talk about learning from our mistakes we aren't talking about hiring a professional to evaluate me.

You are entitled to your opinion. I have no problem with anyone who disagrees with my points of view. To be honest, I just don't like the way you speak to me. It's not coming from a place of trying to learn and understand each other but to accuse and to project your own biases. For these reasons, I won't be responding to your comments anymore. It's not worth my time or energy.
