QUOTE When life knocks you down, get up; it is the most natural thing to do. A leader does more than get up though; they pick something up and grow. Glen A. McQuirk FOOD FOR THOUGHT Failure is a rehearsal for success. It is the way we improve, the way we get better. Failure is on the flipside of the success coin. Henry Ford said that every mistake is an opportunity to begin again more intelligently. Every time we do something we can expect a result, sometimes its not the result we wanted, but instead of calling it failure, look at it as a discovery of how not to do it. Learning from failed attempts turns every failure into a success. The better we get at failing forward, as John Maxwell writes, the more we can stretch ourselves, push the limits, test our abilities and then go further. We can begin to see failure as our friend; the very reason we have succeeded so well. Without failure we cannot grow. The more a leader fails, the more opportunity there is to learn and progress. Turn your failures into the dumbbells of success. Pick them up and grow strong. CHALLENGE What lessons have you learnt from your failures?
