Michael Jordan on Success |
- "no pain, no gain";
- "if it's not hurting, then it's not working";
- "if you're not failing, you're not trying".
Then, there are the more supportive ones like:
- "If you don't try, then you'll never know";
- "You've got to speculate to accumulate";
- "Who dares, wins!"
For me, it's simple - you can't achieve success without achieving a few big things and you can't achieve a few big things without getting out of your comfort zone.
Once you're out of your comfort zone, you're guaranteed a mis-step or failure somewhere along the way. Once you make peace with this, you free yourself up to LEARN from your mistakes, difficulties and -yes, sometimes - failures. So, that's why I propose a new maxim:
- "Learn to fail, or you'll fail to learn"
