The idea of failing forward

in #philosophy7 years ago (edited)

I've stopped believing in failure a long time ago. The concept of failing to me, is adding a label to the idea of giving up. It's completely OK to make mistakes, no one is perfect. But I don't accept is staying down, not realizing the lesson and moving forward.

One of my favorite quotes is by a man called George Clemenceau

"A man can get discouraged many times but he is not a failure until he begins to blame somebody else and stops trying"

This is a powerful truth, we need to realize that even though we do not have control of everything that happens around us, we are always in control of how we react to it.

We can always learn to fail forward...

I like the wayyou put that. I have looked at the term failure like a word given to the fear that something wont work. But the way you put it i think makes more sense, its good food for though.

контроль всего, полностью зависит от вашего видения правильной картины мира. Когда вы понимаете, как мир действительно работает - вы можете правильно оценивать и действовать правильно
