“Would you like me to give you a formula for... success? It's quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure. You're thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn't at all... you can be discouraged by failure or you can learn from it. So go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because, remember that's where you'll find success. On the far side.”~Thomas J. Watson
Double your failure rate!!! I bet you never heard that from a teacher. We have been taught that failure is BAD, WRONG, it means you are STUPID. We've been taught wrong. We need to be free to fail, not have all these labels if we don't get it right the first time. We've been taught that failure is the enemy, but it isn't.
So go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because, remember that's where you'll find success. On the far side of failure...Make all you can, another thing teachers never told us. I wonder why??
Personally, I don't believe in failure, it just doesn't exist. We don't fail, we just get results. They may not be the results that we are looking for, but they are results or feedback...not failure. If we don't get the results that we want, just start over and work until you get the results you want. Failure never enters into the equation!
Know. Be Known. Make A Difference!
