There are those that monitor our progress and offer us with a success rubric in a hierarchical company or school. Keys to distinguish between responses that are obviously right and wrong are provided by multiple choice examinations. Rubrics are available even for open-ended replies to help in grading. Answers that contain specific, unambiguous components are more accurate than ones that do not. Not all projects that you build yourself come with these kinds of tests. You must construct them on your own. You must establish the parameters for success and failure and be ready to modify them in response to new information that you decide is important to consider. This requires initiative and accountability. It requires the capacity to form a successful and creative habit. If you actively follow the self-guidance of creation by creating goals, comparing those goals to standards you have set for yourself, and actively working toward constructing every day, then even if your project fails, it won’t be a failure. The Credential Era Is Coming to an End. The majority of the construction that aspirational youth do is done in the name of obtaining a certification. It is thought that the certification will demonstrate their expertise and establish their credibility for creating and building, whether they join a firm or go to a higher level of school.
