If You Want To Succeed, Don't Be Afraid To Fail
Enjoy today's quote: “Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor.”
― Truman Capote
It is important to remember that failure is one of the elements of success. How do you learn what works, if you don't try it out? If you fail, then you have learned one more thing that doesn't work. Discard that idea.
Find a new path. Try another direction. Ask questions of those who have already been there, and learn from what they tell you. Don't get caught in the belief that your problem has only one solution. Find another way.
Yes, failure is just a condiment; it's not the whole meal. Consider it a stepping-stone that will lead you to a better way of looking at things. Analize it; learn from it; but don't let it stop you. Merely pause to get your breath.
Then move on, buoyed up by the idea that you have learned something important and can now build a stronger structure. Just keep going; don't let failure erode your resolve. You can find a way.

I'm never afraid to fail, Fran. Those failures are merely stepping stones to success.

Magnificently said as always Fran...
One should never be afraid to fail, in fact... the word "fail" should only be used when one has given up!!
I like to think of it as;
"Well, this method hasn't worked, no worries! Just keep on learning and trying until we all find a solution that does work!"
Enjoy the rest of your day my friend!
You've got it! That's the way to do it -- just keep trying until you find what works. Believe me, I have been there; done that.
