And, the more you learn, the more you succeed.
(That's been my "matra" this week after attenting a
workshop/group.)

And I thought you Guys would appreciate this article:

Enjoy.

  • Hi Johnathan,

    I have shifted from judging results as successes or failures, to just seizing opportunities. Fun, freeing away to live inside-out plus it is a fail-free way of seeing things

  • But in order to fail, you usually have to first, you know, do something.

    Other than recite mantras, that is.

      Of course. That goes without saying.
    • Like finish the two websites that have been talked about and promised to be, "finished, soon" - for the past few years.

      Building websites entails using your hands in a productive manner. Sitting at a seminar allows you to use your hands to do nothing more than to play pocket-pool.

    • That's so ridiculous. Many people succeed without ever knowing failure. They are usually, educated, knowledgeable in what they're pursuing, well-organized, have a detailed plan, are well-funded, have realistic expectations and are willing to work diligently toward their goal.

      The only people who believe what you have stated are those looking for what might be considered a noble explanation for their continuing failures.

      What total rubbish.

    • or just fail a lot until you learn failure sucks ..

      if failing means you your wife and kids are going to end up homeless ..

      Learn by failing when you are in a place the failure don't hurt much and only hurt you ..and if you are willing to work your way off the street if you end up penniless .

      If you are a guy and you are failing to get a girlfriend or keep one (and many younger men after success aredoing it to get woman ) here is how you learn from Failure.. figure out what you are doing .. then figure out what people with success are doing.. and stop doing the things the people with success are not doing.. and start doing more of what they are ..

      if you fail over and over again .. and expect the learning and growth to just happen .. what will just happen is alcoholism, drug addiction .. or what happens to people who know nothing but repeated failure ..

      trust me that sucks i have been their ..and was for a long time ..until you learn to win somewhere .. then live more and more places in your life .. and start winning bigger ..

  • Well - The Lean Startup movement that has become popular over the last 10 years is based on the idea of "fail fast and cheap". The idea is that you can't learn without failure. And move VCs use this methodology heavily when making investment decisions.
  • Way I see it, deal we got in a random Cosmos still packin' way too many frickin' imbeciles to warrant any kinda perfecto Nirvana gonna actschwlly happen ... is ... figurin' max benefit from the ride.

    Always there gonna be steps up an' setbacks, an' always these gonna be relative to evry other f*cker's steps up an' setbacks -- plus also our own idiosyncratic glories & klutzes past.

    Thing is, we happy or what?

    Or are we way too obsessed flingin' minuscule quoits at mile high steeples so 24/7 our muscles ain't even got powah to stop us fallin' in the gutter?

    So much here depends on pointa view.

    I seen people bounce back from direst calamity, like nuthin' evah happened.

    Meantime, plenty people inhabitin' the malls of our existence weave their own deathly perceptual cocoons merely by gazin' out on life's panorama in a way kinda enslaved fashion.

    That is why I endeavor always to figure gratooitous SMILIN' into my daily Yogic bendin' strattajeh.

    Was it Bill Gates said All elevation springs from stable points of rest?

    No, waitaminute -- that was Moi.

    Gates is the Jobs Antichrist guy, right?

    Ha!

    So much for frickin' failure when two entreprenoorial giants go head to head an' evrywan wins ... speshly on a forum existin' only in cybernoplaceville as the IRL world gears up for yet another pseudo a priori Christmas.



    Has readin' my generous an' cogent reply to this post touched on your sense of FAILURE or YEAH ACTSCHWLLY THAT WAS SO KINDA SMART IMA GONNA PROSTRATE MYSELF YOGICALLY AN' GRIN MY TITS OFF?

  • FAIL is nothing more than your First Attempt In Learning. Each failure brings you one step close to success!

    • The only problem is, you can fail repeatedly and still never succeed. There are no guarantees in life, or in business!

      Cool. : ) Thanks: I haven't heard that one before however I think it's great. Thanks for contributing.
  • The more you fail, the more you get back up. I have experienced a fall quite a few times over the years while battling with depression. Don't get me wrong, I have also had great accomplishments over the years as a renowned writer with the opportunity to write for some of the greatest minds in the industry. I recently traveled with tigers and worked at the fair just to try and revisit my mindset in hopes of getting myself back in the loop of things.

    Needless to say, the year didn't end as well as I thought it would. I ended up homeless, which I still am but only temporarily. I've been back in Tulsa for about 3 weeks, and now I'm fixing to sign for my office so that I can reconstruct my business. May not be in the best position right now, but I am on my way back up.

    Stay tuned, this one will be epic. ;-)

    • Keep at it, James. I'm a totally-disabled, combat-veteran and have been homeless, twice. Once, in Manhattan, which just might be the worst place in the world to be so.

      I'm 100% disabled with PTSD and bi-polar disorder, but have spent a lifetime learning to cope with these obstacles and in the end, to use them to maximum effect to achieve business success and a very comfortable lifestyle. The narcissistic personality disorder I failed to previously mention is the character trait that is most responsible for overcoming the other two. "You go to war with the army you've got!"

      I can't promise you that things will get better, but I can assure you that it is possible to turn chicken shit into chicken salad (for lack of some b******t, new-age, touchy-feely platitude which run rampant, here). There are no secrets, no books, no courses, no talks, no bumper-sticker slogans, no meaningless input from people with no experience and - more than likely, no medication that is going to magically turn your life around. Everyone's path back is different and comprised of a combination of various things that over time come to make a difference in how you feel, act and view the future.

      In the end, it will all come down to the level of 'fight' that you have within you. When you are at your closest to totally giving-up is when you will have to reach deep-down, inside yourself for just one more sustained effort at pulling yourself back from the brink.

      Please be aware that this is the most difficult time of the year for people with these issues. Depending on your safety-net of family, friends and medical professionals you need to be extra vigilant to get through the next month without falling backwards. Be aware, too, that family and friends can be a double-edged sword and oftentimes can bring more pain than happiness, so don't look to others to be part of your recovery. That rarely holds true, I'm sorry to say.

      I wish you much strength on your road to recovery. Keep the faith. You CAN do it. If I was able to, I assure you that almost anyone can.

      Cheers.

  • Every successful person I've know has failed several times before ultimately succeeding. There's always the story behind the story. You have to pay your dues and learn. The best way to learn is to fail. The best way to succeed is to fail, make adjustments and keep going.

    • Indeed it is the only way. I'm not ashamed of the failures as they've strengthened me and each time it taught me to do things better by embracing opportunities to change that I didn't see before due to the cloudiness.

    • "What's love got to do with it?" - Tina Turner

      Nice try on the cloaked link. Reported as SPAM.
  • Love of what l am doing, lol, well barring the cloaked link thing, that is a pretty naive remark.

    There are other factors far more motivating than doing it for the love of the action.

    "Wanting something better", and "have no other option", are pretty strong motivators as well.

    Although what is the worst that can happen with Ceramics,......the mold l am making springs a leak and plaster pours all over the tiles, (that happened once, and it was a big cleanup, but not the end of the world).

    Stockmarket pick the wrong one, and lose some money, after about 9 months of learning and applying.

    Which isn't the end of the world either, eventhough it sucks, and eventhough a small percentage is leaving you in the dust.

    But with no other option, you keep going, and learning, and trying, even if the outlook is squealing pigs drowning in mud.


    And some love spam to sell their s**t, and l love to remove it, and ban them for life, but that is just me.

      Stop telling us about your power to delete and ban people. Honest to God, it just makes people dislike you. Even if you are joking, please stop.

    • ok .. wait a second.. so are you saying that you feel you have no other option at this point but to learn to succeed in stock market trading ..

      that is called desperation ..that gets people to invest their life saving in bit coin or the next new thing .. because they feel there is no other option . to get what they want or to have better. or buy lottery tickets ..try to sue people for stupid crap.. and do a lot of real dumb crap ..

      it's not that nice guys finish last.. most of the time losers just keep losing ..in all areas of life ..

      so stop losing and start starting wins

      desperation may work for some people but the ones who get into big trouble..don't write books and get forgotten .

      or gewt people stuck in jobs they hate.."I have no other choice" ..I got piles of debt from buying the better things.. or the 6 figures in student loan debt..and the big problem right now.. the people with all three .. stuck in job because they have high consumer and college debt

    You have POWERS. All you need is to tune in with this magnanimous reality and start winning.

  • The more you fail, the more you learn. Live and learn.
  • Failure is an opportunity. An opportunity to learn what you did wrong, what was missing and what needs to be done. If one isn't able to use these experiences and their next attempt then there's only failure ahead of him/her.
  • When I invented "fire" there were many failures "burns" before I learned how to cook dinosaurs without burning myself and the clan. Thus I learned the ultimate mathematical problem solver and learned from my mistakes:


    1. Its serves no purpose to burn virgins.
    plus
    1. Burn their boyfriends instead.
    =
    2!


    Your welcome.

      Hi Master Blake: Thanks for the addition. Yeah, having a strong vision (and "Reason Why") of what to accomplish is important for sure ... And I would reccomend People choose something that really inspires and motivates them.
