Your “First Score” is what happened the first time; the “Second Score” is how you handle it, how you respond when your First Score is unsatisfactory. You can’t alter your First Score BUT you can choose your response to it and that response is your Second Score. Bear in mind that the fallout from the First Score may include criticism, some of it constructive, some of it stinging, perhaps not all of it on point. When you are to process all that feedback, sort the wheat from the chaff and try again, smarter and wiser, that is your Second Score.
