Fail Faster

I just read a quote from a fellow blogger who works at my company in New York. "Fail Faster." The notion being that the way to success is to have failures. The fastest way to success is to get through the failures as fast as possible. Course, the analogy breaks down pretty quick the more I thought of it, but the premise is true. The way to success - especially something that is difficult (and therefore worth doing) - is to acknowledge when you fail, get over it and get going toward the prize.

I acknowledge that I've failed in the past. By some measures, I should be the most successful man on the planet, but that's where the analogy breaks, eh? What I got out of that was confirmation that I'm doing the right thing wrt to getting up and back on the horse as soon as I fall off. But now, I'm typing colloquially as I wave my digital arms in the sky and attempt to make a point. ;-)

I get down,
I get up again.
walk on.
