What would you do if you knew you would not fail? Everyone has great ideas, why do some people seem to make their ideas come alive while others struggle? Many people who are successful try new ideas and fail. In fact, they fail often. The difference between one person and another is the willingness to fail, reflect, attain advice/education, remain flexible to new ways of accomplishing their goals, and persisting.

- 11. …We should be teaching our students in STEM subjects: how to fail. Right now, we do not explicitly teach our students how to fail so that they can get right back up. That's in direct conflict with our goal: to prepare students to play competitively upon graduation. If our students are going to stop deadly pandemics, solve the energy crisis, and cure world hunger and poverty, they will have to be prepared to fail, over and over—and more important, they will need to know how to learn from those failures. -Elizabeth Gerber, McCormick School of Engineering and School of Communication at Northwestern University, and founder of Design for America. LEARN TO FAIL http://www.usnews.com/opinion/articles/2012/11/23/stem-students-must-be-taught-to-fail

- 13. FAILING IS GOOD FOR SUCCESS “I wouldn’t be where I am now if I didn’t fail... a lot. The good, the bad, it’s all part of the success equation.” – Mark Cuban, Owner of NBA Dallas Mavericks “So it turns out that the cliché "When one door closes, another door opens" is more than a cliché after all. You just need to be confident enough to see that other open door. And that requires that you not stare at the closed door too long.” – Ekaterina Walter, author of the Wall Street Journal bestseller "Think Like Zuck“ “Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.” - Thomas Edison “Failures, repeated failures, are finger posts on the road to achievement. One fails forward toward success.” – C.S. Lewis “Failure is necessary for success, we must fail faster to succeed sooner” – Unknown
