Howard Gardiner in his book
Extraordinary Minds identifies 3 practices which "Extraordinary Individuals" make a life habit of but which the rest of us only do inconsistently:
- REFLECTION - Regular and searching introspection
- LEVERAGE - Locating one's unique places of strength and weakness and building on them
- FRAMING - Interpreting life's daily "peak and trough" experiences in positive ways
Gardiner quotes
Nixon - "You are never defeated when you lose only when you cease to struggle" and
Ford - "Failure is the opportunity to start again more intelligently."
