Table of Contents
Convert pain into learning = failure becomes useful only when it produces correction.

Example
A basketball team watches film after a loss — not to wallow, but so the next game is cleaner. I bombed a talk and stewed for a week. Convert pain into learning was one page: weak transitions, rehearse bridges ten times, cut two slides. Next audience got the version the failure paid for.
