3 ways to reconsider the role of failure in your success:
"It's important to be willing to make mistakes. The worst thing that could happen is you become memorable."- Richard Branson
Sara Blakely famously grew up with a father who asked her and her brother at dinner,"How did you fail today?" And Richard Branson failed in business numerous times, yet managed to prevail. a failure was only a mistake if you failed to learn. Author and Stanford professor Tina Selig suggests that an excellent way to learn from mistakes is to create what she calls a"failure resume." In her book,, she advises keeping a running list of all your biggest screw ups, including personal, professional and academic missteps. Selig stresses that this exercise isn't about what you did wrong; it's about what you learned. And as Selig reminds us, failure is just data; you need to mine it for the lessons.
