She's like, no, no, there are some types of failure that are at least as good as success.

It's mind blowing.

And true.

And once you accept that.

Yeah, that sound effect right there, that was Frances's mind being blown.

And once you, once you, that you're like, oh my gosh, well, I want to get to those as quickly as possible.

So here's a classic example of that.

In the classroom at HBS, when students first arrive on campus and they were high achievers before they got to campus...

They all initially judge themselves with, did I get the right answer that we came up with at the end of class?

But that is not the metric you should use for the people that opened the class.

We still got 80 minutes to travel.

Yeah.

Open for class, it's, did I get everyone else to want to engage in it in a productive way?

Not that I get the right answer.

In fact, probabilistically, if you got the right answer, we're not teaching that case next year.

That's not a good class.

So you have to judge yourself based on the time of doing it.
