The Importance Of Failure


The Importance Of Failure

The Apple Newton was a complete failure.
Henry Ford went bankrupt 4 times.
Google tried to sell itself for $1 million.
Vincent van Gogh sold only 1 painting during his lifetime.
Thomas Edison made thousands of lightbulbs that didn’t work.

Failure is not something we try to avoid but something we want to embrace.
