Fact #4: Failure Is Your Friend

Failure is the other side of success. Your success largely depends on the number of attempts that you make. It is an interesting paradox.

Increased number of attempts leads to higher number of “errors” and “failures”. But at the same time it quadruples your chances to succeed.

  • If you want to find an interesting and well-paid job, send out more CV’s.

  • If you want more dates, ask more people out.

  • If you want to achieve more, make more tries.

This simple principle is not new - “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.”

Are there any past fears that are holding you back and preventing you from making an attempt today?

Are you waiting for the “right moment” to ask your boss a raise?

Are you not asking the person that you like out, because you are afraid to hear “NO”?

Are you toying with idea to start a new venture, but consciously postponing it for later?

Initially you might get all the things that you desire, but you will still have to face a fact, that you could have had all this sooner, only if you would have conquered your fear of failure.

Maybe you could have enjoyed extra money and benefits years ago. You could have already been dating a person that you like. You could have been running successful business right now. While these are only wild guesses, one thing remains certain:

If you never try you will never succeed.
