It's OK to fail once in awhile.
You can only go forward by making mistakes.
We shouldn't be afraid to fail- if we are not failing we are not pushing.
If the whole process of learning from failure means discarding stuff that's not working, but in fact, our natural reaction is to keep going, to throw more money behind it, to throw more emotional energy behind it... that's a real problem.
Every time you start a company - and I've started five or six - you have the opportunity to screw up in whole new ways.
An entrepreneur is born with the mentality to take risks, though there are several important characteristics: courage, faith in yourself, and above all, even when you fail, to learn from failure and get up and try again.
You need to fail quickly and learn from those failures to continue to build along the way.
You'll never go to the library and find a book on how to fail, because we all do it.
Don't 'tolerate' mistakes. Embrace them!
I consider myself as a human being with lots of ups and downs and learning from a lot of failures before I can succeed.
Failure saves lives. In the airline industry, every time a plane crashes the probability of the next crash is lowered by that.
We learn more by looking for the answer to a question and not finding it than we do from learning the answer itself.
Think of it this way: There are two kinds of failure. The first comes from never trying out your ideas because you are afraid, or because you are waiting for the perfect time. This kind of failure you can never learn from, and such timidity will destroy you. The second kind comes from a bold and venturesome spirit. If you fail in this way, the hit that you take to your reputation is greatly outweighed by what you learn. Repeated failure will toughen your spirit and show you with absolute clarity how things must be done.
Surviving a failure gives you more self-confidence. Failures are great learning tools - but they must be kept to a minimum.
