Leadership Nuggets: Worry Not When We Fail

Nov 07, 2017 • 1 Min Read

Throughout history, all great achievers went through failures first. Cases in point include:

Walt Disney who was once fired for his lack of creativity.
Before they became famous, The Beatles were rejected by several recording companies.
Thomas Alva Edison was one told by his teacher that he was stupid, but look at his range of inventions today.
Michael Jordon also failed to make it to his high school basketball team.

Failure is actually a starting point for success. Why? Because when we fail, we learn. When we learn, we grow. And when we grow, we succeed.

So, don’t worry when we fail. Keep going because success is just waiting around the bend.
