210426 What I learned in my studies this morning
Learning a new skill
Takes much time and patience
From Plato's cave to . . .From The Daily Stoic:
If I can learn to approach life and its ups and accidents as training, it can help me handle mistakes more easily. By seeing things as practice, if my "opponent" screws up, I can see it as a mistake s/he can learn not to make next time. Too often, I see other's errors as deliberate, though they surely were not.
When a car cuts me off in traffic, or a coworker doesn't get a task quite right, it's not about me. It's about them and they don't know better.
The inconsiderate driver I will never see again and there's nothing I can do to improve it later, but it certainly makes my reaction better than the ire I used to (and, unfortunately, sometimes still) feel.
The coworker is someone I can interact with, showing them the correct way to do XYZ and improving both their performance and my attitude at work.
