I loved the recent news story of the Princeton professor who published a CV of his failures.
Dreaming – trying new things – guarantees both failure and success. But we don’t often talk about the failures.
Even when you succeed at something new, it often feels like a failure right up until the moment it succeeds.
Have you ever shared a failure publicly? I like to talk with my choir about my failures, as an object lesson, and to help them understand the mindset of aiming higher.
We could all stand to hear more objective descriptions of well-intentioned failures from the people we respect.
