How do you handle failure?

1You mess up something important...

• I get back up fast
• I think about it for days
• I dissect what went wrong
• I move on without looking back
• I get right back at it

2Your first emotion...

• Disappointed, but it's okay
• Devastated
• Curious to understand
• The urge to avoid the subject
• Frustrated, and fired up

3What do you tell yourself...

• Next time will be the one
• I'll never make it
• What can I learn from this?
• Let's not talk about it anymore
• I'll show them

4To get over it...

• I move on quickly
• I need time
• I take stock
• I distract myself
• I set myself a new challenge

5A failure, deep down, is...

• A step, no big deal
• A wound
• A lesson
• To forget as quickly as possible
• Fuel

6People describe you as...

• Resilient
• Sensitive
• Thoughtful
• Someone who avoids confrontation
• Tenacious

7The day after a failure...

• I move forward
• I still think about it a lot
• I note down my lessons
• I act as if nothing happened
• I get back to work right away

8When someone reminds you of your failure...

• I laugh about it
• It reopens the wound
• I explain what I learned from it
• I change the subject
• It motivates me even more

9Your way of bouncing back...

• Quickly and naturally
• Slowly, step by step
• By understanding what went wrong
• By moving on to something else
• By getting back in the fight

10Deep down, failure teaches you...

• That it will eventually pass
• That it hurts
• How to do better
• To stop thinking about it
• To come back stronger
