From the BBC: Is it good for people to fail occasionally?

This week the BBC had a great piece on their website--Is it good for people to fail occasionally?--and I thought it would be good to provide you with a link to the story.  I believe the more we work toward reframing our view of failure, the better off we will be.  Failure is not to be feared, but rather embraced as a learning opportunity.  Here are some tips on how to reframe failure so it does not appear so daunting:

1. Failure=practice
2. Failure makes us smarter and stronger
3. Failure makes us resilient
4. Failure equips us with leadership skills
5. Failure prepares us for success
6. Failure allows a deeper appreciation of success

Here is a link to my earlier post on failure in case you want to revisit it or you missed it the first time around.  Keep in mind that failure is often only fatal when it comes to parachutes and hand grenades, so get out there and give your best today.  Have a great week!
