If the whole process of learning from failure means discarding stuff that's not working, but in fact, our natural reaction is to keep going, to throw more money behind it, to throw more emotional energy behind it... that's a real problem.

Failure is instructive. The person who really thinks learns quite as much from his failures as from his successes.

With everything that is complex, we learn. If you don't learn, then it's an utter and abject failure. If you do learn, and you're able to apply that to the next situation, then you take away a measure of success.

Learning how to work and learning how to fail is important.

One of the reasons people stop learning is that they become less and less willing to risk failure.

Ultimately there is no such thing as failure. There are lessons learned in different ways.

I've had a lot of success; I've had failures, so I learn from the failure.
