Friday Focus: Focus on what you want
March 08, 2024
I have thought about a key conversation with my then eight-year-old son about his hesitation to try out for a team many times over the years. Fear of failure can be motivating, but it can also be paralyzing if we are not careful. The concept often resurfaces when I least expect it. When I first accepted the job as director of a large NASA project that was struggling to survive over 20 years ago, I bought myself a present that I keep in my office to this day. It is a small metal block with one sentence engraved in simple text. "What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?" I sometimes need to remind myself of the advice I gave my children. Taking my own advice, I focus on the end game for me and for UAF.
