I had created this category on my blog to document my journey of self development that I started on when I decided to leave a small town in India and move on to achieve bigger things in life.
It amazes me what how confident I was in my younger years and basically took up anything that helped me get to my goal, looking back (and connecting the dots) it seems that more often than ever I failed in doing what I wanted to do, but in the absence of someone or some thing to tell me what the right way was, my failures proved to my ‘golden rules’ to not do things, the wrong way second time around.
Just came across a tweet by Guy Kawasaki which had a link to this video.
Good insight on failure providing lessons, but, in this context, I think it’s more significant that failing means you’re trying and, in particular, that you’re trying new things. If you don’t try new things, you’ll never succeed in any major/meaningful way.
Very inspiring video. If you have not failed in something small or big for a long time and learnt from it, probably you are not doing enough for yourself.
Failure is the only way to exceed your own expectations from yourself.
A really inspirational video – makes you believe that failure only exists if and when you give up. If every thing worked straight away the first time for everyone, it would quite boring.
