Understanding failure & getting up again: What defines resilience & success?

Failure is never beautiful, but always educational. Because only from mistakes we learn for our work and life. how can we resilience work out?

The shock of failure

At first, failures are usually a shock. The ability to be positive about it, to get up and move on is called resilience. Unimagined productivity grows from it. I recently read a brilliant quote from the Irish writer and Nobel Prize winner Samuel Beckett (1906-1989):

“Always tried. Always failed. Never mind. Try again. Fail again. Fail better. ”

He got to the point what I have repeatedly addressed in my books and texts: that it is not a problem to fail. But that afterwards you should get up again and better carry on - even if you run the risk of failing again. Or to put it another way: you always learn something.

Getting up again: what makes resilience?

The psychologist and best of HR - Berufebilder.de® author Denis Mourlane, one of the leading German resilience experts, describes the phenomenon in his book "Resilience: The undiscovered ability of the really successful" Using the example of Steve Jobs, who left Apple in 1985 due to internal power struggles, but returned in 1996 as a consultant, member of the board and managing director. Resilient People are characterized by the following abilities according to Mourlane:

• The ability to control emotions
• impulse control
• The ability to make the right causal conclusions
• Empathy for the feelings of others

But what does that have to do with productivity? Quite simply, those who are resilient can not only cope with setbacks better, but can pick themselves up and carry on their work faster. It not only saves nerves, but also precious time.

Brene Brown is investigating interpersonal behavior

Brene Brown is Professorin at the University from Houston. But actually she is much more: namely, a storyteller, as she often self-deprecatingly remarks in her lectures.

At the Graduate College for Social Work she conducts research on interpersonal connections and explores our abilities for empathy, belonging and love. The last ten years she has spent researching a concept that she has wholeheartedness lists.

Research journey into one's inner life

An Rede I was very enthusiastic about her at TEDxHouston - she not only talks soberly about her research results, but also reveals deep insights into her own inner life in a very self-deprecating way - and about how supposed weaknesses turn into benefits.

As a result of her research, Brown went on a personal, spiritual journey to get to know herself better, but also to better understand other people.

The key to success: Vulnerability

Your research result: The key to a successful, good life is to allow your own vulnerability, including negative emotions and the overcoming of shame.

In years of observation, she has found that people who master life successfully and well are usually the ones who deal calmly with their emotions and also negative handle events well.

Face life with dignity and authenticity

And that these very people are the ones who stand by their own vulnerability and can accept it. In other words, who wants to be successful, must also know his weaknesses.

Brown also speaks Ask which I consider extremely important:

• How can we engage in our lives with dignity and authenticity?
• How do we keep the courage and compassion to embrace our imperfection and to realize that we are good enough?
• And how do we recognize that we are lovable and valuable?
