Defining Moments

How I responded to discouragement

  • THE NOISE

    Messages from Myself:

    I'm not smart enough to do that.

  • How I responded:

    I had an experienced mentor who was patient and showed me certain calculations, analyses, and other things. I then practiced and practiced until I consistently got the right answers, which helped me develop more confidence in myself. I later went on to become an instructor/mentor to others.
