J. K. Rowling: The Fringe Benefits of Failure
I bet you do not think often about the fringe benefits of your failure. It is hard to believe it but failure shapes us and helps us grow. Please listen to this inspiring message by J.K. Rowling.
J.K. Rowling Speaks at Harvard Commencement from Harvard Magazine on Vimeo.
What benefits do you see from failure you have experienced?
What I have learned from failure is that every big success is built upon failure. I also realize that all achievements come with a degree of risk. When we learned to ride a bike, we took the risk of falling off and getting hurt. When I began my business, there was a risk of failure. But with risk comes reward and the reward is typically commensurate with the risk. Once we understand this, we can start to win in a big way.
Failure is one of the top fears. Most people do not belive that failing is acceptable and allow it to stop them in their tracks. Napoleon Hill stated: “Recognize that every adversity carries with it the seed of an equivalent benefit. Temporary defeat is not failure unless it has been accepted as such”.
Thank you Rachel. With risk comes rewards. Well said.
I see from my failures, that I will first feel sad, but later will understand and improve on my failure.
Nice video, I liked watching it.
