Not going to sugarcoat it, learning to respond vs. react is one of the hardest concepts in DBing. It takes time, patience, practice, and preparation. You're doing the preparation by being here and getting guidance and feedback. Be easy on yourself, don't best yourself up over slip ups. We all have them. I've yet to see anyone DB perfectly. The Key is to learn and grow.
Thanks, Steve. Any good threads or books that you would recommend on it?
Validation thread is always a good one. The idea behind validation is responding rather than reacting.
