Fail Forward
What happens when we fail?
•One of the most devastating circumstances in life revolves around failure. When you pour your heart and soul into an endeavor, whatever it might be, and it fails, it results in a catastrophic upheaval in our lives. When we fail, life turns upside down. Everything we once thought we wanted, seems to disappear into thin air.
What Actually Happens When We Fail
•However, what most people don’t realize is that failure acts as a stepping-stone towards success. It’s through our greatest failures that we learn more about life, love, goals, happiness and all the things that make us into who we are today. Plus, some of the most famous people in the world have failed the most times.
•Possibly one of the most famous and well-known horror authors of all time, Stephen King’s work has been lauded and celebrated for decades and he has sold over 350 million copies of his books, not to mention the royalties for movies and television series based on his books. However, he threw his first book, Carrie, into the trash, only later to be retrieved by his wife. It was rejected by 30 publishers until it was finally accepted by DoubleDay.
•Albert Einstein, one of the greatest thinkers of our time, didn’t speak until he was four-years old. He also failed his entrance exam to the Swiss Federal Polytechnic school located in Zurich at sixteen-years old. And, even his father, up until the time of his death, considered his son to be a major failure. After eventually graduating from college, Einstein worked as an insurance salesman, but quit after some time because he failed at that as well.
