Go On. Fail

Dear Me,

There is a formula to progress and success. It pretty much reads: Try. Fail. Examine. Refine. Try Again. Fail Again (but having gained inches, even feet, of progress). And so, Examine. Refine. Try Again. Repeat.

The point is that we never give up. We get back up. We try again. But every time we try again, we don’t just do the same thing, we don’t just do things the same way. The very definition of insanity, as Einstein would state, “is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” No. We examine where we went wrong. We examine how we could do better. We examine with curiosity, and without judgement. And from that we make changes, corrections, and apply. So go on. Fail.
