Do you learn more from a resounding success or a crashing failure?
- nostrademons 17y agoThis is why people write postmortems and reflect upon their failures. Anyway, I'd think it should be fairly evident to anyone who's both succeeded and failed that the successes teach you more. Problem is, you usually don't have the choice between succeeding and failing. If you did, wouldn't everyone just choose to succeed? You have the choice between trying and not trying. And you'll learn more from trying and failing than you will from not trying. That's why people say "Failure is a good teacher". It's not that it's a better teacher than success, it's that it's a better teacher than not trying at all.
- vital101 17y agoI expect to both succeed and fail. I try to learn as much from both as I possibly can.
