It's very difficult to accept any outcome that doesn't favor you( the opposite is true), the human culture make as believe that the positive outcome of any event is the best for use and anything less than that is failure which is absolutely wrong . Accepting Failure can make you succeed in your next step an (example below)
A classroom has more than 20 pupils.. each pupils has deferent level of understanding, performance and development.
the 20 pupils have same teacher who teaches them same through out the subject.. this same teacher sets exams depending on the subject covered unfortunately the pupils can't score the same marks ( remember they were all taught by the same teacher).. that is when positioning comes in from the highest score to the lowest mostly the lowest scorer is seen as a failure and the highest is seen as an archiver which personally I don't support, they may have deference in understand that makes the difference between the two pupils.
A pupil with ACCEPTANCES and ready to improve is an archiver simple because he/she has accepted the current situation and want an improvement.. improvement is as yep higher than your previous score or achievement just like in any other field in the world we should focus first in acceptance of the current situation then focus on improving..
a question, a student who gets a results of 20% bt improves with 3% in the next result to 23%.. compared to a student with 90% who gets 10% low in the next result to 80% who between the two is an archiver???
