Yet Another Foiled Attempt

How many times have you failed? How many more can you fail? As Anthony Robbins asked, "how many attempts do parents allow their newborns to try to walk before throwing in the towel?"
Sounds profound, but in all sincerity failing is learning. Learning to fail is learning what not to do.

The important thing to learn about learning to fail is not failing to learn the lesson.


At the end of a project having time set aside to review what happened to a great habit to get into. The value in allocating this time is definitely Quadrant 2 in the Steven Covey time matrix and in a busy business environment, many times the last thing people want to do at the end of a project is to get together and talk about it.

But make the time to talk about it. The last thing needed is repeated wasted effort. Innovation cannot take place when there are bad habits fossilized. The habits need to be rooted and new systems installed.

Again, easier said ...

However, just like the baby learning to walk it takes baby steps. Giving up is not an option, failing is not negative unless we don't learn from the failure. Try taking some small steps and not worry about falling. It's liberating.

Thanks!
