Ever watched a toddler learn to walk? They know instinctively they must stand every time they fall. They will try until they master their skills. As we grow, we lose that natural inclination to learn, mainly because of the pressure of being judged and ridiculed. Mark Twain expresses this when he said: “if we learned to walk and talk the way we learn to read and write, everyone would limp and stutter.” If we reminded ourselves to learn to fail and fail to learn, we would stop equating failing and being a failure. We would develop stronger resilience in dealing with life’s challenges.
Failing Does Not Make You a Failure

You have emphasized failing n failure well.
Indeed! Thanks for commenting 🙂
Failing has indeed taught me much about resilience and about myself. Well said!
Absolutely! Failure is life’s greatest teacher.
Failures + Mistakes = SUCCESS
Exactly! I couldn’t agree more:)
Yep, well said. I used to teach and facilitate teams, and help people and organizations develop visions for what they want to achieve. One of the biggest obstacles to overcome was the fear of failure. To succeed, you must be willing to risk failure, learn from it and try again, and again, and again. It’s a lesson that often must be learned — again and again and again.

Yes that’s right. That’s the biggest challenge each of us needs to overcome. It seems as though no matter how much we try we can still be a victim of this problem. Thank you for commenting:)
