Someone suggested splitting this up into two articles, one for the "go get data" and the other for the "failure is't that bad". The split would be between the paragraph about practice and hesitation.
Failing is an integral part of data taking. Undue avoidance of failure is avoidance of data taking.
In my observations I have seen many people who unduly avoid failure and as a result never get the data they need to help ensure success of their goals. So I think that "go get data" and "failure isn't bad" are often tied to together strongly. So I encourage you to provide your insight in to the bond between this two topics and how to over its negative aspects.
Thanks for the comment.
Just to make sure I understand you correctly, are you suggesting not to split the article?
Pretty much, sorry for not being more straightforward.
Yea. Taking into account that they ARE linked, and that there's probably more like this to be written, maybe a mini sequence would be a good idea.
Any ideas on a name for the mini sequence?
Trial and error? Geting Data? somehting abaut failure or hestiation?
Thanks for the feedback.
Would it make sense to just do a mini split? Like, just have two sections to the article? I can't really think of a third article, and a 2 article mini-sequence seems weird.
Any suggestions for a third?
Your third article could be a case study of a time when you went out and tried to collect data. You would narrate how you went about it and explain how the concepts from the previous articles apply to your actions.
