Hey Rob!
"Failure is bad as far as I'm concerned" you are absolutely right on this part. And while I agree the article reads to encourage this, I think what I was getting to was, the mindset shouldn't be to actively look to ways to fail haha but incase it happens, dust yourself - which is exactly what you said so you're definitely on the money!

" I look for people who are almost relentless in their approach to learning and who can understand the wider context within which they are working"

Yes this is so critical!

"It's just it often comes from a bad place." Agreed - the Valley mindset isn't the most effective, true!

" I see learning, perspective and communication as traits to aspire to and I think this is what your post is really getting at."

Nailed it!
