It’s blown
You might think you have blown it and your chances are ruined. After a bad performance, you may think you’re done and your dreams are over.
However, there may be a leader a supervisor an evaluator that sees someone who handles adversity well, someone who fails forward.
Sometimes that’s exactly what the leader/coach is looking for.
The fact is we all fail at times. How you handle adversity and how you bounce back will define how you stand out. Your resolve is what a good leader of a team or organization looks for in teammates.
