in order to succeed one must fail

It is what it is, it sounds just like you would read it and it’s the ultimate truth. I believe that there are people that fit most of the scenarios in the world, Malcolm Gladwell’s outliers.

There isn’t a formula that says that one has to be or do something in order to achieve its most desirable goals. People have to be what they are and if it means failing during the course of life so be it. You’ll see that sometime, between all those ‘failures’ you’ve learned some valuable lessons that can be used in similar situations in the future. It’s the same with soldiers, the veterans have more chances of getting out of a war alive because they have more experience dealing with them than the rookies. Or even with women, men that had lots of women over the course of their lives (and certainly failed many times) will know how to pick one up rather than a guy with lesser experience in the field. It’s all about experience, trial-error, failure-success.

If you want to know the path to success I urge you to try it for yourself even if it means failure. In my book that’s not a failure, that’s a lesson for life, an experience, an advantage. But don’t forget about them, use them to avoid making the same mistakes again, it will most certainly lead you in the right direction to success.
