Quite a challenging one this. If you read all the books by the self help gurus they all talk about failing just as much as they talk about succeeding. I think in our culture it’s much, much harder to admit that you’ve failed at something than had some success.

So this one’s specifically for me right now – as I’m on the cusp of the next challenging step of my career – just a little reminder that it’s OK to fail. As long as you learn something from it. And remember, if you are going to fail, fail fast. Then pick yourself up and get going again.
