“If I find 10,000 ways something won’t work, I haven’t failed. I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward.”
-Thomas Edison
Thomas Edison personally holds 1,093 US patents… not to mention foreign patents.
In my opinion his outlook on what most people consider “failure” is what made him so great.
For Edison, failure was nothing more than feedback; a course correction; an opportunity for learning and growth.
That attitude was a choice. A choice to continue in the face of that failure, or to learn from it and press on.
Unfortunately, too many people wilt under the feedback they receive in life, using perceived “failure” as an excuse to quit – I’ve been guilty of it myself, more times than I care to admit.
The reality is that no great accomplishment comes without the polishing, honing, shaping and feedback of failure. The old saying “the harder I practice, the luckier I get” is true.
Embrace the feedback; accept its message; make the necessary course corrections; push toward mastery.
