This is definitely not a universal truth.
I know that if I had done better in every interview then I would’ve moved ahead and gotten the job. I guess that’s a different way of saying I was “bad” (not good enough). And it doesn’t affect my motivation in a negative way. I find that it actually helps me want to improve more.
- spectraldrift 1y agoI agree with your sentiment, but what you're referring to is "I'm not good at this task yet" which is different from "I am inherently incapable/inferior". The first can motivate, the second does not- this is supported by a large body of pedagogical research. https://opentext.wsu.edu/theoreticalmodelsforteachingandresearch/chapter/mindset-theory/ https://opentext.wsu.edu/theoreticalmodelsforteachingandrese...
