Fail and Fail Big!!

Most of us have spent our entire lives trying to succeed. Why? Well simply put, it's what we've been taught. 

From an early age we have been taught to work hard at succeeding. Get passing grades so you can be on the honor roll. Get a high GPA so you can get into a great college. Study had in college to get a degree. Get the degree to get a good job. 

Why?

Many of the greats FAILED their way to success.  Success is usually a long list of failures. As long as you learn from your failures, they can actually help you. 

FAILURE can be SUCCESS - look at Thomas Edison! He had many failures on his way to discovering electricity. He in fact hired helpers so he could fail faster on his was to success.

FAILURE can be a SUCCESS - look at Columbus! In an attempt to sail to East Indies, he fails by landing in the Bahamas and "discovers" America.

Just get on your ship and go! Don't whine about lack of funding or naysayers opinions that the world is flat (economy is bad) and you'll be eaten by dragons (get rejected). Just go! Who knows what you'll discover!
