yeah becuz failing is the best way to learn. it's how we learn how to walk, ride bikes, drive, etc.

but some people should just give up tho.

funny how everyone wants to mention Steve Jobs, Gates, and all the successes but nobody talks about the people who failed and kept trying only to keep failing.​

Dude didn't fail, it just took a little longer than usual.

I ain't saying dude's a multimillionaire but I can promise you he has a roof over his head now. If you can support your lifestyle with your dreams then your successful IMO.

I follow that believe. failing is neccesary and its a given in life. The thing that determines a persons success is how the handle the failure. using the OP example, I would rather do version 1.01 instead of throwing in i away.

Keep this in mind when talking about failure as a key to success ... Every large company WAS ONCE a small business.

You don't learn much from thinking you're always right, that's for sure.

It's ok to make mistakes, as long as you learn from them and improve. Make enough mistakes then corrections, and you'll reach your goal for certain.

good responses y'all. And to emphasize, I wasn't just talking about failing something business-wise, I was talking in terms of all aspects of everyday life. for instance, You go to apply for a job, but you're told you're not qualified,; instead of crying and lagging around, you go and continue to build yourself until you become qualified...

You had a much better thread here if you came at this a different way.

You should have said how many people don't mention failure as a key factor to their success.

Its pretty much the normal for people to cite learning from their failures as a key to finally having a breakthrough.

No one will or is disagreeing with the thread.
