I am a little surprised we are not hearing the points from this article more often. Yes, we can learn from failure and so on, nobody is disputing this. The problem however is way too many people are taking a way too permissive and lax attitude towards failure instead of trying to figure out how to succeed. Permitting yourself to fail is the easy way out to avoid doing lots of hard and gritty work. The best learning happens before you actually fail at something, when you figure out you are ON THE PATH to failure and make a course correction to avoid it. The overall capital formation ecosystem is probably to blame for this lax attitude. When the financiers make the most return from a few biggest winners taking crazy risks they do not care about mean failure outcome in their portfolio. Remember, people who tell you it is OK to fail are not the ones who will have to live with the consequences of you failing.
