Failure isn’t always bad
Check out this video of a break dancing toddler. Aside from it being a really cool video of a 2 year old doing some amazing stuff (0:50 in the video is just ridiculous!), we as adults can also learn something from it. Notice how many times the boy fails while attempting various moves. Also notice how these failures don’t set him back one bit! When learning any new skill, failure is a necessary and inevitable part of the learning process. Each time we fail we learn.
“If you want to increase your success rate, double your failure rate.”

“Success is going from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm.”
-Winston Churchill
