In multiple occasions, I found having “thick skin like an elephant” can be useful.
1) Learning something new: Little children are not afraid of being laughed at. They learn new skills and languages without much fear and hesitation. That is one of the best attitudes in learning.
2) Meeting new people: Not afraid of “rejection” and taking the first step to meet new people is pivotal in making new friends.
3) Conflict resolution: Not afraid to confront as well as admit one’s mistakes.
4) Exploring new opportunities: It may require talking to different people, networking and not afraid of failures.
5) Resilience/Determination: Be determined to get to the bottom of issues/problems regardless what others may think.
