SxSW 2016: Dr Brene Brown finds solution to pick up after failure and heartbreakAustin, Mar 13(AZINS) Brene Brown is back with a powerful session on self-development and her keynote at the South by South West was full of insight and humour.

Brene is a research professor at the University of Houston and her talk, 'Daring Greatly' was based on a famous quote by US President Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

Dr Brown was looking for an answer to the question, "How do you pick up after failure and heartbreak?", reports Forbes.com. She interviewed a lot of people and came up with three key points

1. If you’re going to be brave, you’re going to be hurt.

2. Vulnerability is not weakness.

3. Watch whose feedback you take.

In the keynote she said that we are emotional beings who on occasions become rational. Not the other way around.

Brene's talk about vulnerability at the June 2010 TEDxHuston has had nearly 24m views and it struck a chord with her viewers.
