FAILURE: ANOTHER NAME FOR EXPERIENCE

"There is no failure except in no longer trying."

~ Elbert Hubbard

People often won't try to succeed because they are terrified of failing. Most people don't realize that when you fail, nothing really bad happens to you. Life goes on, people forgive and forget, and you start over. Many people having failed become very successful and wealthy. When I first entered the business world attempting to be a real estate salesman, I failed. I was 24, with no education, and broke, but the experience I gained selling real estate lasted me forever; I still use it today.

"Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm."

~ Winston Churchill

The most important lesson we need to learn is that some of life's most valuable lessons come from mistakes and failures...that's how we learn. When you learned to read, if you read a word or sentence incorrectly, someone corrected you. Next time, you read it right. If you mess up a sale, next time you will do it right. All wisdom, experience, and teachings come from someone else's mistakes. Every invention has come from a succession of failures. It's not that they are failures; they are simply steps in the success process. The more you go out and fail, the higher you step up in the process. Why do you think companies look to hire experienced people? Because someone else has already paid for their failures. If you want to be great or successful at anything, go out and fail more.
