We&#8217;ll be looking to retool, reinvent.

Alas, most of us aren\u2019t that wise when we\u2019re young, but failing smartly can make us wiser. I wrote about persistence being overrated, or misunderstood, because the bumper-sticker version of this suggests you should just keep trying the same thing if you fail at it. Just come back swinging again and if you take enough shots you\u2019ll finally succeed. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>That\u2019s not what I found in my research at all. If you fail at something, you need to understand why, or do your best to understand. Once you think you understand why, then you\u2019ll know whether you should try the same thing again, try it again but do something a little different, or give up and do something completely different. Some of us just aren\u2019t good at things we wish we were good at. If you keep trying to succeed at something you\u2019re not good at, just because you wish you were good (like me playing electric guitar), you\u2019re missing the point. If you try at something and fail, maybe what you need to learn is it\u2019s not for you. At least you tried!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em><strong>Persistence is really important as long as you\u2019re willing and able to learn what you need to come back for another shot. But nobody should keep trying the same thing over and over, in the same way, if they keep failing at it. Sometimes failure produces the lessons we need to succeed. Other times, the message is, try something else.<\/strong>&#8220;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Marty&#8217;s radio show drifted away, as many of our favorite radio shows seem to do, but career and life counseling are still his focus.\u00a0 There are blogs, a podcast and regular contributions to Psychology Today.\u00a0 Here&#8217;s what he said when I asked about trying and trying again.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>&#8220;I\u2019m fond of singer Kenny Rogers\u2019 advice: \u201cYou gotta know when to hold \u2018em, know when to fold em.\u201d\u00a0 The problem is that it\u2019s not usually easy to figure when that is. Best I can suggest \u00a0is to consistently ask yourself, \u201cAre the chances better of my having more or more important success if I persist at least a little longer, or am I likely to have a better yield if I redirect my efforts.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s one more theory, originally attributed to Buddha.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>\u201cWhen the student is ready the teacher will appear\u201d<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">******<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/anita.garner.9\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-4295\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theagingofaquarius.com\/ag_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/facebook.jpeg?resize=55%2C55&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"55\" height=\"55\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>*More about Rick and Marty.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Rick Newman is the au<\/strong><strong>thor of &#8220;Rebounders&#8221; and three other books and columnist for Yahoo Finance.\u00a0 Click the book cover for Rick&#8217;s website with contact information.<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/rickjnewman.com\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5240 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theagingofaquarius.com\/ag_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/REBOUNDERS.jpg?resize=159%2C242&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"159\" height=\"242\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theagingofaquarius.com\/ag_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/REBOUNDERS.jpg?w=263&amp;ssl=1 263w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theagingofaquarius.com\/ag_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/REBOUNDERS.jpg?resize=197%2C300&amp;ssl=1 197w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 159px) 85vw, 159px\" \/><\/a><strong>Marty Nemko, Ph.D is a career and personal coach based in Oakland, California and the author of 10 books.
