Iterate.
from The Obstacle Is the Way: The Timeless Art of Turning Trials into Triumph by Ryan Holiday
A failure can be a big advantage if you use it in a proper way.
How to Apply This
-
If you slipped many times that doesn’t mean that you fell.
From each small failure, you get feedback that can protect you from a disastrous and permanent failure. -
Your capacity to try, try, try is connected to your tolerance to fail, fail, fail.
Accept a failure as a natural part of every action and learn from it. -
A failure is a disadvantage ONLY if you don’t learn from it.
If you fail, try again, but of course without repeating the same errors. Try new strategies, options, ideas.
Lessons come hard only if you’re blind to them.
