We seldom think about failure as a good thing. Recently Will Smith made a video about his view on failure. He argues that we should embrace failure and look at it as a sign that we are in the process of evolving. But it is also important how we fail. If we allow ourselves to fail early and often in a process, we gain a lot of experience that is useful in the rest of the process. Using failure in this way Will Smith calls failing forward.
As a notorious tryer/failer I appreciate how well he puts word on this. And just maybe this way of thinking about failure will eventually lead to me succeding in going to the gym more often!
And here is the video...
Unfortunately I don't know why Will Smith did this video, of anybody has some background information please är a comment!
