Most people are afraid to fail. They are afraid to even begin something if the result will be failure. But those are the people that miss out, who stay the same, who don't grow and stay the same.
Reasons to fail:
- Learn about yourself
- Learn how not to do something
- Learn better ways to do something
- What we learn enables us to succeed in the future
- You fight harder to get what you want
- To keep going
- Gain experience
Quotes:
I make more mistakes than anyone I know. Eventually, I patent them.
- Thomas Edison
It's only a failure if we fail to get the learning.
- Scott Cook, Owner, Intuit
Google distinguishes between bad and good failures, the latter of which have two characteristics: 1) discerning why you failed and applying that to future projects; and 2) speed: fail fast and early before investing more than necessary or damaging your brand.
Give yourself permission to fail.
Seek out mentors and learn from their failures. Learn from their successes too.
