Mathew Knowles, the father of Beyoncé and Solange has decided to share some of the parenting tips he used on his daughters.
He went on Twitter to share the valuable lesson he taught his successful daughters. “One thing I taught Beyoncé and Solange was to practice failure. We would practice how they’d respond if their microphone got cut off, if their shoes broke on stage, if the wrong song got queued in their performance set. Anything can happen,” he wrote.
He added, “and they were always prepared to have a response! I would like for you to consider the same lesson. Whether you’re a performer or artist, or an entrepreneur or professional, practice how you’ll respond in the event you fail. It’s a skill that can and should be developed!”
