It\u2019s great when things work out.<\/p>\n
But that\u2019s not always the case \u2013 inevitably, some of the things we try will fail.<\/p>\n
Yet this isn\u2019t necessarily a bad thing.<\/p>\n
When things don\u2019t work, we have an opportunity to reflect on why this is the case \u2013 what could the causes be? Can we do anything about it? What could be done better next time?<\/p>\n
Indeed, there can be more to learn from failures than from successes.<\/p>\n
So for our 57th<\/sup> 10-Minute International Librarian exercise, celebrate a failure.<\/p>\n Take it as an opportunity to think about your own practices and the circumstances, and how these could have influenced thing.<\/p>\n Even if there is an element of unluckiness, could you mitigate the risk in future?<\/p>\n And be ready to share your lessons with others, including through the comments box below!<\/p>\n Good luck!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This idea relates to the\u00a0IFLA Strategy<\/a>!<\/strong>\u00a0Key Initiative 3.4: Provide targeted learning and professional development.<\/em><\/p>\n As we publish more ideas, you will be able to view these using the\u00a0#10MinuteInternationalLibrarian<\/a>\u00a0tag on this blog, and of course on IFLA\u2019s\u00a0Ideas Store<\/a>!
