Neither fragile nor unbreakable

As we strive to become better companions, mistakes are inevitable.

Do we see mistakes as a feedback loop?*

Or as an indication that we have failed?

Fragile people see any error/problem as evidence of personal failure.

Unbreakable people never admit mistakes. And eventually they break.

Anitfragile people, according to Nassim Taleb, adjust to any situation.

Antifragile don’t look for perfection. They seek to acclimate themselves , to be pliable to any and all situations.

The anitfragile know and live the Scandinavian saying “there’s no bad weather, just bad clothing.”
