Yes! I tell this to people all the time. Don’t be afraid to fail, that’s how we learn. You have to learn how to succeed. Each failure brings you one step closer to success.

Yeah.. Those who wants to succeed in anything needs to fail fast, learn from their mistakes and improve towards success.

This is ever so true. Let me share what Michael Jordan said,

“I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”

PS: Nice blog you have it here, Erwin.

Did you know that I stopped watching NBA when he retired? If my mind serves me well, his last game was in 1997 prior to his comeback which I didn’t really put much attention to…

Good to know ya too, Erwin.

I almost stopped watching too, after Michael retired I moved on to support New York Knicks instead..

But I still remember the days he did badly in baseball and recently I saw him on tv sporting pink shirt playing golf.

It really is interesting to know how many times actually have these people failed. But then again, in the history they’re written as one of the best experts in their niche (if I can name them like that), but nobody hasn’t any idea how many times they have failed to reach that.

Great video, short, yet very inspiring.

Cheers,

Failure is the mother of success I guess?

One might say that failure is a disguised step of success. We probably shouldn’t recommend failure, but it is hard to gain perspective after having taken an action and failing. The mind quickly responds to understand what went wrong.
