Do you focus on the reasons something won’t work, or do you find ways to adapt to change?

"Some changes can be tougher to accept than others. Once I understand the motivation or goal behind the change, I initially try to balance the pros and cons before I can adapt. Overall, I prefer to focus on why the changes will work. I am a pragmatically positive person by nature."

"I am an optimist by nature. I look at everything from the viewpoint of possibility. The path forward is always asking the right questions. So, before making any summary judgments, I will always ask why and move forward. I am a glass-half-full person who tries to find ways to fill it until I reach surface tension."

"Sometimes you have to learn from failure. Understanding what the problem is, will help identify solutions. Focusing on what didn't work and finding ways to change it, is how you grow as a person."

I think both are important. Learning from one's mistakes in discovering why things didn't work can provide extremely rich knowledge and experience that will improve future performance. Adapting to change is also just as critical to a successful future.
