I clearly remember a period during which I felt like a failure.But what I eventually learned was that failing at one thing is not failing at all things.And,in fact,failure is a necessary part of growth.Life is filled with trial and error.In order to walk the path to success,you need to make some wrong turns along the way.What I learned,to use John C.Maxwe11’s terminology,was to”fail forward”,to use each mistake to make myself better.One of the greatest problems people have with failure is that they are too quick to judge isolated situations in their lives and label them as failures.Instead,they need to keep the bigger picture in mind.A successful baseball player doesn’t look at an out that he makes and think of failure.He sees it within the context of the bigger picture.His perspective leads to perseverance.His perseverance brings longevity.And his longevity
him opportunities for success. V.Organizing Your Ideas
