To profit from each and every
experience you must be open and
willing to learn, even from what
some people might consider a
failure.
Don't have have a narrow and
negative understanding of the
meaning of failure. If you tend
to hide from failures, you will
never create innovative
breakthroughs and block valuable
learning forward.
What may seem to be a failure
can actually lead to new
opportunities, especially if the
knowledge acquired from the
failed
experiments or projects can
be exploited.

serve as a starting point for
the assimilation of learning.
Changing your attitude to the
entrepreneurial one is the
key to finding success in
seeming failure. "Optimistic
thinking has sometimes gotten a
bad rap as being unrealistic,
but research has found that we
can indeed live happier,
healthier, and more successful
lives if we can learn to
discover opportunities in
problems," says Charles C. Manz.
the author of The Power of
Failure. These problems then
become merely challenging
opportunities that we can turn
to our advantage.
"Failure is simply the
opportunity to begin again, this
time more intelligently,"
advised
Henry Ford.
