What did you fail at yesterday?

Note: Please do not discount the power of a simple question. Here’s an example of simple, powerful: Are you satisfied?

Fail fast, fail often

Glacier National Park (GNP). First time i stood here was Summer 1973.

One of the reasons people stop learning is that they become less and less willing to risk failure.

Time for another TED talk?

We salute the dreamers, the creators, the inspirers.

Because it’s never been done before is often the reason it never has been done before.

Doing things that might not work is inspiring.

We can never be creative if we are afraid of failing.

Do or do not

Dreams require risks. Risks require failure. Failure enables growth. Growth enables dreams.

Do or do not do the work.

Is there a third choice?

No, from my six decades on this planet. i have discovered my own truths. Truths many others embrace, and at the same time, many others shun. Right or wrong, we need to commit. i am committed to my truth – which may grow and develop as more years teach more lessons.

Some might say that doing some but not all of the work is doing the work, and i say that doing the work is like a marriage, you are 100% committed or you are not committed. Cheating means failing.

At some point, i deemed my being faithful to a positive attitude was all or nothing.

Cheating by being impatient, unkind, angry, and negative means i have failed.

i do not like that type of failure.

Failing from calculated risk taking inspires me.

Needed to say all of this to clear up any doubt about my intimate relationship with failure.

Risk, failure, and opportunity

Humans are curious beings.

What’s the first thing you think of when you are presented with a risky proposition?

Failure?

Opportunity?

How do you see it?
