LIFE IN A QUESTION MARK SUIT Page 3 of 20
 
     
 

We don’t glorify failure enough in our country. It is the most important part of life. We glorify success but since our early days in school we are all taught how bad it is to fail, and as a result we avoid it like the plague when in fact we should embrace it as the most important part of life.

You are never going to learn anything unless you start failing. Only one in a million of us will ever wake up and become an instant success at something we want to do. Think about how a child learns to walk. They fall down 100 times before they make it across the room on two feet. It is the basic lesson in life. Falling down and failing is the only way we all learn to do anything. If you wanted to have a life that is protected from failure your mother would be pushing you around in a wheelchair today because you never learned to walk. We all know this about walking, but when we want to do anything else new in life we’re told not to do it because we could fall down, get hurt or fail. Well of course that is going to happen. So if you want to live an exciting life, get out there and fail.

I always dreamed of starting a business. But my biggest fear of starting a business was failure. I believed that everyone would point at me as I walked down the street and whisper behind my back that I was a failure. It would be like having a big red F on my forehead. But after my first two businesses failed, I realized that no one else really cared if I failed. Everyone is so involved in their own lives that they really don’t have the time nor interest in the details of my life. Sure, for a few seconds, they may mention something behind my back at the next family reunion, but that will be about it.
