Inspired by Manesh Mahatme's wisdom during a critical process failure review at Amazon[1]:
"It's just a mild fever - think of it as a vaccination. Sort it out, build a mechanism to ensure we're never here again. We sometimes need vaccines to get stronger."
His words:
1. Acknowledged the mistake
2. Recognized it as salvageable
3. Challenged us to grow from it
Key takeaway: Treat failures as vaccinations. Build bulletproof mechanisms from each stumble. Big dreams invite big mistakes - learn from small falls to prepare for the big ones.
Paratroopers start by jumping off stools. Jump, fall, learn, climb higher, repeat.
Are your setbacks infections or vaccinations?
[1] Everything was eventually resolved. But when it happened, it felt like the end of the world. I looked like a man about to be hanged when Manesh said this.

Failure and setbacks - they're part of the deal. You don’t handle them - you use them. Every failure is a lesson disguised as a punch to the gut. The only difference between winners and losers is how they react when they get knocked down. Adapt, learn, and keep going.

@alexander_kovalov you are absolutely right! really love your perspective on setbacks.
Above all every setback is a great lesson
Getting different perspectives helps me see things more clearly and find a way to bounce back.
try to stay positive and remind myself that everyone faces seatbacks its all about how i respond that counts
Learning from my mistakes helps me improve for next time
Like boxing, a brick in your face… stand up, learn from it and move on. It is part of life!
