Failure Can Lead to Innovation

Day 18

Saw this quote and thought of that saying ‘try, try, try again’ (or something like that?) …

Some people think of failing as a negative thing .. it doesn’t always have to be.  Everything and everyone around us today that signifies ‘success’ has ‘failed’ at some point or another to get to where they are today.  No invention was perfect the first time it was created – only after trial & error did any invention get perfected to what we know it as today.

In my line of work – I have good days and a few bad days .. the bad days teach me how to prepare myself the next time round; it teaches me how to be more innovative when I find myself in that situation; it teaches me that no matter how well prepared I am for the job at hand – shit happens and something could go wrong. 

I guess we must all realize that it’s ok to ‘fail’ every now and then ‘cos it’s just gonna make us be innovative enough the next time so as not to fail again.  What do you think ?

I don't even think it's healthy to expect to succeed on a constant basis.

Absolutely agree with your comment. It's delusional to think that one can succeed 100% of the time. We just need to be real and accept that every now and then, things go wrong - and it's OK !

Thanks for stopping by Helene =)

I know how hippie this sounds but my biggest successes have often arisen out of heartbreaking failures. Everything indeed does happen for a reason and what you want may not be what you need right now.
