Failing Well? What is up with that?
We are human beings. Failure, disappointment, and setbacks are intrinsic parts of our lives. As entrepreneurs, we understand that taking risks may lead to both successes and failures. As Churchill said, ‘Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.’
The first crucial step in mastering the art of failing well is acknowledging that a project may not succeed, and we may make incorrect decisions. However, it’s essential to understand that as human beings, inherently valuable, we are never failures.
A second step involves recognizing that while we can choose our dreams, failure sometimes chooses us, as noted by Ken Costa, a former banker in the city of London. This realization implies that we cannot entirely avoid failure, but we can choose our attitude towards it, and this choice makes all the difference.
