Pearls of Wisdom |
East
Failure is the foundation of success, and the means by
which it is achieved.
~
Lao Tzu
Be not ashamed of mistakes and thus make them crimes.
–
Confucius
Freedom is not worth having if it does not
include the freedom to make mistakes.
– Mahatma Gandhi
Many people dream of success. To me success can only
achieved through repeated failure and introspection. In fact,
success represents the 1% of your work that results from the 99%
that is called failure.
– Soichiro
Honda
West
In the West, our fixation on success discourages us
from risk taking because it values success over
learning,
and it abhors failure whether we learn from it or not.
– Parker Palmer
That which does not kill us makes us stronger.
–
Friedrich Nietzsche
Sometimes life hits you in the head with a
brick. Don't lose faith.

Steve Jobs
I have not failed 700 times. I have not failed once. I
have succeeded in proving those 700 ways will not work. When I have
eliminated the ways that will not work, I will find the way that
will work.
– Thomas Edison
I have learned
throughout my life as a composer chiefly through my mistakes and
pursuits of false assumptions, not my exposure to founts of wisdom and
knowledge.
– Igor Stravinski
Once you embrace unpleasant news not as
negative but as evidence of a need for
change, you aren't defeated by
it. You're learning from it.

The Art of Innovation: 9 Truths
By: Guy Kawasaki

Don't worry, be crappy.
An innovator doesn't worry about shipping an innovative
product with
elements of crappiness if it's truly innovative. The first
permutation of a innovation is seldom perfect – Macintosh, for
example, didn't have software (thanks to me), a hard disk (it
wouldn't matter with no software anyway), slots, and color. If a
company waits – for example, the engineers convince management to
add more features – until everything is perfect, it will never ship,
and the market will pass it by.
