Failure
We live in such a success-hyped culture that failure is often feared, when in fact it should be celebrated. The reason is that failure and success are inseparable – they are steps along the same continuum of trial and error. When the entrepreneur James Dyson invented his first Dual Cyclone vacuum cleaner, he spent 15 years creating 5,126 versions that failed before he made one that worked. Now Dyson is a global company with 12,000 employees. Today’s failure can be tomorrow’s success; today’s success can be tomorrow’s failure. We live and learn, we try and fail, we stretch and grow.
