Why Failure Is Good for Success | SUCCESS

.no-js-favicons?domain=success { display: none !important; }

The sweetest victory is the one that's most difficult. The one that requires you to reach down deep inside, to fight with everything you've got, to be willing to leave everything out there on the battlefield-without knowing, until that do-or-die moment, if your heroic effort will be enough.

Key Ideas

Thomas Edison on failure

Thomas Edison's most memorable invention was the light bulb, which purportedly took him 1,000 tries before he developed a successful prototype: “How did it feel to fail 1,000 times?”

Failure Is Life’s Greatest Teacher

“Failure and defeat are life’s greatest teachers [but] sadly, most people, and particularly conservative corporate cultures, don’t want to go there...Instead they choose to play it safe, to fly below the radar, repeating the same safe choices over and over again. They operate under the belief that if they make no waves, they attract no attention; no one will yell at them for failing because they generally never attempt anything great at which they could possibly fail (or succeed).”

- Ralph Heath

Failure is essential for success

The prevailing school of thought in progressive companies—such as Intuit, General Electric, Corning and Virgin Atlantic—is that great success depends on great risk, and failure is simply a common byproduct. Executives of such organizations don’t mourn their mistakes but instead parlay them into future gains.

Top 5 Ways to Start the Year Off Right

What is success to you? How to be successful in life? To some, when they think of success, they imagine wealth; others want power; some just want to make a positive impact on the world. All of these are perfectly valid, indeed success is a concept that means different things to different people.

Key Ideas

Do a yearly review

Ask yourself:

What went well for me last year?
What accomplishments did I have?
How did I improve my life?
How did I improve my relationsh...

Finish what you started

Which of your projects, errands and general to-do items do you still have left from the previous year that you may be able to complete in less than 2 hours? Do them now to enable you to give yourself a fresh start.

Be realistic

Dreaming is great, but if you want to accomplish some improvements, you need to make your dream more realistic.

Break your dream down into milestones: if you want to work from home, what steps do you need to take? Break those steps down further into actionable steps and start working towards making your dream a reality.
