Seek Patterns and Learn from Mistakes

An important approach is to conduct a true post-mortem analysis of mistakes by looking for common threads. This involves questioning if one is making philosophical errors, lacking the right information, being too emotional, or surrounding oneself with the wrong people. By seeking patterns and self-reflecting on repeated scenarios, one can determine if they are consistently setting themselves up for success or failure. The key is to acknowledge what has unfolded, identify any pattern recognition, and exercise sound judgment in understanding the reasons behind outcomes.
