"Experiencing a setback is always disappointing, and can be a bit disheartening, but I understand that it happens from time to time. If I experience a major setback, I will take a few moments to debrief with my manager and discuss what I could have done differently. After I have discovered the reason for the setback, I put a plan in place to ensure it does not happen again. Then, I move on!"
