Failure Is Your Friend [00:00:17]
Most people seem to have an innate fear of failure, [00:00:19]
but failure is really your best friend. [00:00:24]
People who succeed also fail a great deal [00:00:27]
because they make a lot of attempts. [00:00:30]
Those who have the most successes [00:00:33]
also have the most failures. [00:00:35]
There is nothing wrong or shameful in failing. [00:00:38]
The only regret lies in never making the attempt. [00:00:42]
Sometimes the quickest way to find out [00:00:46]
if something will work is to jump right in and do it. [00:00:49]
You can always make adjustments along the way. [00:00:53]
During college I tried a lot of crazy ideas [00:00:56]
that I thought might save time. [00:01:00]
I read time management material [00:01:03]
and applied what I learned, [00:01:05]
but I also came up with some original ideas. [00:01:07]
Most of my own ideas failed,[00:01:11]
but some of them worked. [00:01:13]
I was willing to fail again [00:01:15]
and again for off-chance [00:01:17]
I might come across something [00:01:19]
that gave me an extra boost. [00:01:21]
Understand that failure is [00:01:24]
not the opposite of success. [00:01:25]
Failure is an essential part of success. [00:01:28]
Once you succeed, [00:01:32]
no one will remember your failures anyway. [00:01:33]
Microsoft isn't Bill Gate's first business adventure. [00:01:37]
We have electric light bulbs [00:01:41]
because Thomas Edison refused to give up [00:01:42]
even after 10,000 failed experiments. [00:01:46]
Just make another attempt. [00:01:50]
You either succeed, [00:01:52]
or you have a learning experience. [00:01:54]
Letting go of the fear of failure will serve you well. [00:01:57]
If you're excited about achieving a particular goal, [00:02:01]
but afraid you might not be able to pull it off, [00:02:05]
jump on it and do it anyway. [00:02:08]
Even if you fail in your attempt, [00:02:11]
you'll learn something valuable [00:02:13]
and can make a better attempt next time. [00:02:15]
