Failure as Feedback
Table of Contents
Failure as feedback = a miss tells you what to fix next — process, skill, assumption — if you don't treat it as a identity verdict.
Example
A smoke alarm isn't moral judgment — it's data. My sourdough failed again; failure as feedback was the thermometer and timing notes, not “I'm bad at baking.” Treat the miss as instrument reading, not identity.
