       Never forget: most of us have been poisoned by a toxic educational system that teaches us systematically that failing at a task or not knowing a correct answer is shameful.There is no inherent shame in failure, in not knowing, or in being wrong, and we shouldn't actively shame others for it.Get back up, learn something new, and try again.

       @noelle we really need to redefine failure on a broad level.Failure is *not* "not getting something right away"Failure is *choosing* to stop trying, but if you learned something in the attempt, even that is a learning experience and not necessarily a bad thing.It's also useful to reframe attempts not as zero-sum "win/lose" activities, but more of a continuous process of tiny, incremental progress.

       @noelleIndeed. If anything is shameful, it's not learning from the mistake.

       @noelleI would agree with you, but here in Sweden it´s gotten nearly the other way around. It seems like people are proud of not knowing anything.
