You can get too, close to the problem to see the obvious. Getting away from it for a while will reset the mind so that you can see clearly.

The next time your project goes bottoms up, don’t have a pity party, examine it closely and look for the flaws. You may not have to trash everything and start over; it may just need a little tweaking. Failure does not mean you have failed, it just means you need to keep trying

Failure is usually viewed in a negative connotation, causing one to feel worthless. If instead of self-pity after failure, you view it from another perspective, you can often turn failure into success. When things don’t turn out the way they were planned, you can often discover what was first overlooked.

When writing an article, a book, or some other endeavor, genius often does not show up after the first try, or the second or even after several attempts. Failures are our training ground. We must permit them to be our schoolmasters, showing us the right way by eliminating the wrong ways. Hindsight is always better than foresight, so why not learn from our mistakes and use them as stepping stones to our success?

Home run hitters strike out more than others, but they keep swinging. Successful people use what they learn from their failures, to lead them to success.

Perfection is achieved not only by practice and self examination, but by seeing success in the mind and having the confidence of winning. Write the paper or play the game in the mind over and over, imagining the obstacles and how you are going to overcome them. You can become more mentally alert in this way, having the confidence to compete.

When you are stumped on how to proceed with something difficult, put it on the back burner of your mind and let it cook for a while. Sometimes the subconscious mind will reveal the solution when you are not even thinking about it. You will be surprised at how much clearer the way is, when you let your thoughts come to you naturally without browbeating.

When trying hard to finish a project you can draw a blank. Desperation often causes one to grab at straws, trying anything to see if it works. This gets away from rationality.
