> Be in a situation if you mess up, you'll get severe negative reactions from others.

I agree with seeking a position of responsibility, and be accountable, but i disagree with the above point. Specifically with the severe part. I think two of the most important lessons are to learn from your mistakes (accepting that you will fail sometimes), and when you fail/make a mistake take the responsibility.

Having severe reactions from others for when you make a mistake (I.e a beat down and not constructive critism) is a recipe for disaster.

Conditional agree. I'd say as a beginner, the "rigour" of particular situations can be too harsh. So when you're starting out, it is better to have lower penalties for mistakes. However, as one advances in career, then it sort of becomes necessary to reduce disasters emerging from one's actions. This doesn't mean mistakes should be avoided, but one has to control the effects of one's mistakes through proper sandboxing/experimentation setup.
