The incredibly creative Ms. Jessica Hagy has a great illustration of what I have been lately discussing about as the virtues of failure (which she calls 2nd (and 3rd, and 4th) chances are vital)
Bottom line: Failure, generally, brings about improvisation via learning.
(of course there will always be exception to the rule—as some people adamantly refuses to learn from repeated failures, mostly political authorities and their zealots. Albert Einstein called this insanity—doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.)
Nice and simple graphic said it all. We only learn a lot when we failed.
ReplyDeleteI have read somewhere: "how to be good at something, when a mistake has a decent chance to kill you?"
