Brainware: How to Succeed with Failure - 1 views

  • Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It's quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure. You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn't at all. You can be discouraged by failure — or you can learn from it. So go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because, remember that's where you will find success.

    Please don't think that I am trying to set any of you up for failure in this class. I don't anticipate any of my students failing (except those who don't try... and they have already failed...). Rather, think of what this site has to offer regarding making mistakes. Many of you have been afraid to write for fear of making mistakes. I would suggest that you try to double the rate at which you are making mistakes in writing...:)
