One of the hardest things to do is accept negative feedback.
![Page 3: Why Failure Is Awesome](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042615/55c9c8dabb61eb0e498b45f3/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Now, most people will refer to this as "failure."
![Page 4: Why Failure Is Awesome](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042615/55c9c8dabb61eb0e498b45f3/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
If you're a normal person, who's been through normal school, then it's been drilled into your brain that failure is bad, and should be avoided at
all costs.
![Page 5: Why Failure Is Awesome](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042615/55c9c8dabb61eb0e498b45f3/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Or maybe you played sports and got yelled at when you made a mistake.
![Page 6: Why Failure Is Awesome](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042615/55c9c8dabb61eb0e498b45f3/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
One of my favorite commercials of all time is with Michael Jordan.
![Page 7: Why Failure Is Awesome](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042615/55c9c8dabb61eb0e498b45f3/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Now like him or hate him, he and Nike (and whatever marketing company they used) made some pretty good ones.
![Page 8: Why Failure Is Awesome](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042615/55c9c8dabb61eb0e498b45f3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The one I'm talking about is when he slowly talked about all his "failures."
![Page 9: Why Failure Is Awesome](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042615/55c9c8dabb61eb0e498b45f3/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Like taking the last shot at the buzzer, and missing.
![Page 10: Why Failure Is Awesome](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042615/55c9c8dabb61eb0e498b45f3/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Like all the games he's lost.
![Page 11: Why Failure Is Awesome](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042615/55c9c8dabb61eb0e498b45f3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Like all the times he choked during the playoffs when his teammates were depending on him.
![Page 12: Why Failure Is Awesome](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042615/55c9c8dabb61eb0e498b45f3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Then he listed all the shots he missed (in the thousands) all the games he's lost (at least in the hundreds).
![Page 13: Why Failure Is Awesome](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042615/55c9c8dabb61eb0e498b45f3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Then he said, "I've failed again, and again and again and again."
![Page 14: Why Failure Is Awesome](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042615/55c9c8dabb61eb0e498b45f3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Then he looked at the camera and said:
![Page 15: Why Failure Is Awesome](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042615/55c9c8dabb61eb0e498b45f3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
"That, is why I succeed."
![Page 16: Why Failure Is Awesome](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042615/55c9c8dabb61eb0e498b45f3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The CEO of Sony, who took their company from when "made in Japan" meant junk to a global leader in electronics was asked, "How do we
double our success rate?"
![Page 17: Why Failure Is Awesome](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042615/55c9c8dabb61eb0e498b45f3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
"That's easy," he responded.
![Page 18: Why Failure Is Awesome](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042615/55c9c8dabb61eb0e498b45f3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
"Double your failure rate."
![Page 19: Why Failure Is Awesome](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042615/55c9c8dabb61eb0e498b45f3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Even Babe Ruth struck out more than most people realize.
![Page 20: Why Failure Is Awesome](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042615/55c9c8dabb61eb0e498b45f3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
What is failure, anyway?
![Page 21: Why Failure Is Awesome](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042615/55c9c8dabb61eb0e498b45f3/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
It's the natural feedback mechanism that's built deep into your brain.
![Page 22: Why Failure Is Awesome](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042615/55c9c8dabb61eb0e498b45f3/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
It's what helped you walk, talk, read, write, and everything else you know to do.
![Page 23: Why Failure Is Awesome](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042615/55c9c8dabb61eb0e498b45f3/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
If failure didn't happen, learning would be impossible.
![Page 24: Why Failure Is Awesome](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042615/55c9c8dabb61eb0e498b45f3/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
If learning was impossible, we'd all be monkeys throwing poo at each other!
![Page 25: Why Failure Is Awesome](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042615/55c9c8dabb61eb0e498b45f3/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
So why is "failure" so scary?
![Page 26: Why Failure Is Awesome](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042615/55c9c8dabb61eb0e498b45f3/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Maybe because we associated it somehow with negative social pressure.
![Page 27: Why Failure Is Awesome](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042615/55c9c8dabb61eb0e498b45f3/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Maybe we forgot that there's ALWAYS a next time.
![Page 28: Why Failure Is Awesome](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042615/55c9c8dabb61eb0e498b45f3/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
To be sure, if something really important is on the line, like a job promotion, or a championship game, not getting what you want really,
really sucks.
![Page 29: Why Failure Is Awesome](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042615/55c9c8dabb61eb0e498b45f3/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
But what's the alternative? Not play? Not try? That sucks even more!
![Page 30: Why Failure Is Awesome](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042615/55c9c8dabb61eb0e498b45f3/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Your entire life is the sum total of your day to day behaviors and accomplishments.
![Page 31: Why Failure Is Awesome](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042615/55c9c8dabb61eb0e498b45f3/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Your day to day behaviors and accomplishments are based on how you view the world, and how you view yourself.
![Page 32: Why Failure Is Awesome](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042615/55c9c8dabb61eb0e498b45f3/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Change one, and you'll change the other.
![Page 33: Why Failure Is Awesome](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042615/55c9c8dabb61eb0e498b45f3/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Change the cause, and you'll necessarily change the effect.
![Page 34: Why Failure Is Awesome](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042615/55c9c8dabb61eb0e498b45f3/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
YOU are the cause.
![Page 35: Why Failure Is Awesome](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042615/55c9c8dabb61eb0e498b45f3/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Your world is the effect.
![Page 36: Why Failure Is Awesome](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042615/55c9c8dabb61eb0e498b45f3/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
When you embrace ALL feedback, both good and "bad," then you'll know the real secret of achieving anything.
![Page 37: Why Failure Is Awesome](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042615/55c9c8dabb61eb0e498b45f3/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
That ANYTHING is possible.
![Page 38: Why Failure Is Awesome](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042615/55c9c8dabb61eb0e498b45f3/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
