Failure and Success

I am putting together this website to feature the various aspects of failure and success. This generic site framework looks pretty lousy, but I am working to improve it.

The most useful thing about this site is my blog, I am using that to build chapters and stories for my book.

 

Five steps to success

  1. You will fail. The path over the mountain will have an obstacle, a door, a landslide. A lion. Something. Expect it and be prepared to overcome it.
  2. Often times the failure is easily surmountable - a thin shell, a paper screen, and a little pushing will easily get you through. Sometimes the blockade is a little thicker - a wooden door, or even a steel gate. Pound your way through.
  3. Eventually an obstacle along your path to success can't be pounded through. It's solid rock, or a deadly dragon. Nothing to do, right? Nope, go back a bit and try another path - make another path. Eventually, you will make it over the mountain.
  4. Two extra steps that are the real key. At some point the path will become so challenging, so difficult, that you will consider another destination, another goal. Only do this if you truly have changed your destination - don't stop your current pursuit if you still want that goal. However, it might well be that on the way to achieve your goal you learned enough about your goal that you realize it's not what you wanted. Be prepared to switch.
  5. Finally, the most important point, remember that one's true satisfaction comes from the pursuit not the capture, the game not the goal.
