EMBRACE THE SUCK .

“ Now that person ,” said Shannon , “ will understand that success takes time and patience . And that the boss or supervisor has patience , too . Instead , we all feel the need to act confident , so we don ’ t ask questions or ask for help , and that sort of guarantees that we won ’ t succeed .”
The problem can begin early in life . Parents , probably the ones with the most early influence , have the opportunity to expect occasional failures instead of demanding immediate success . But , said Shannon , “ it could also be a teacher saying ‘ It ’ s OK that you ’ re struggling , this is supposed to be difficult .’ Or it could be a coach or anyone who interacts with the child . Allow for discomfort , praise the work but help the child understand the struggle , that it ’ s part of the process .”
There ’ s a saying in the military , said Shannon : Embrace the suck ! “ It challenges soldiers to attack the work , accept the difficulty as a part of getting stronger and better at it .”
