I took him for his lessons one afternoon and I could already see the apprehension on his face as we approached the swimming pool. However, preparing people to fail (and to deal with the fear of failure) was in my opinion one of the most vibrant discussions. I don’t let my son leave the swimming pool just because he is afraid. But we have a problem when we make the results our identity and this is how fear, particularly that of failure, controls us. We have been treating fear or failure as something bad that should not happen.
