In the entertainment business, a performer hears the word “NO” 90% of the time. That is discouraging so you learn to focus on the “10%” YESES”.

There is no such thing as failure. It's a win or a learning experience. Put failure into every project, especially ones you are good at. It is where improvement and breakthroughs appear. Brush your teeth with your non-dominant hand until brushing your teeth with either is the same. Plenty of places to practice 'failure.' The Media is failure as concept through and through. "If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn't part of ourselves doesn't disturb us." - Hermann Hesse. Once you realize it is themselves, they are upset with, you can go about your day understanding even so-called failures make a difference in others. One day their light bulb will go on.

Thank you, Alex. My favorite German philosopher and psychiatrist Karl Jaspers wrote on failure as beginning point of “existential elucidation” 😇

Ps: I think the link does not work.

I have to check out more of his work!

And for the link, highlight it and then press go, or copy and paste. For some reason I can’t make that link be a pop link on Substack.

A mis-take is a chance to do over with a better perspective.

Perfection is the highest perspective and that is God’s territory.

Absolutely!

Hope so, hope that failure is just a building block as I've encountered an endless stream of it along the road, and hopefully it'll lead to immense success soon.

I hope so, I often feel like Rocky; 'Cause all I wanna do is go the distance. Nobody’s ever gone the distance with Creed, and if I can go that distance, you see, and that bell rings and I’m still standin’, I’m gonna know for the first time in my life, see, that I wasn’t just another bum from the neighbourhood.'

Great topic that needs to be discussed much more often and from a softer position! The more you do means the more you quote unquote fail. For me this means I fail many days a week. Failure has been out of my vernacular for decades. Don't think about it.

Someone placed a poster on the wall, it read 'failure is not an option'. I placed a sticky note over it so that it read, 'failure is inevitable'. No one knew it was me, everyone was mad. 😂

Perhaps we need another word for failure? I like the C.S. Lewis quote. Thank you. I am getting ready to put some offerings out so this is beautifully timely. I am thinking perhaps we don’t ever fail at anything. We only experience people who resonate with us or not. We hit the mark or fall a little short. But why do we classify anything as failing? What a weird thing to do… I never really thought about it like this until now. In the end, we learn and we grow. I think there is no failure.
