“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.”  – Thomas J. Watson

BMWK, how do you view failure? Do you use it as an opportunity to learn and move forward?

    @Nelia- this is a good one isn't it? I feel like every failure I've had previously has directly led to my current success and will further lead me in the future. I'm a true believer of nothing happens by accident. Lamars last blog post..Travel Tuesday: Family Fun Getaway @ the Lansdowne Resort in VA!!!

    It is. Yesterday, I was paralyzed with a mounting workload and just couldn't find the "perfect" task to solve all of my workload problems. This quote reminded me it's better to pick several imperfect tasks rather than continue in my state of paralysis! Nelias last blog post..The Hit Man : What Makes a Woman Approachable
