Nick Perry argues that the skill separating winners from everyone else isn't avoiding failure, it's moving past it fast. When something goes wrong, charge it to the game, extract the lesson, and let it go. You can't control what happens, but you can control how long it lives in your head.
The greatest skill nobody talks about is charging it to the game. Bad conversation? Charge it to the game and move on. Bad day? Charge it to the game. Missed workout? Charge it to the game and double down tomorrow. Poor decision? Charge it to the game, extract the lesson, and adjust. Look, you don't get to choose what hits you, but you always get to choose how long it lives in your head. And the people who win aren't the ones who never fall apart. They're the ones who learn the biggest skill nobody talks about, which is charging it to the game.
