“Do not fear mistakes. You will know failure. Continue to reach out.” - Ben Franklin
Ben's next urges us to Give Yourself Permission to Make Mistakes.
In an earlier post I refered to the idea of of failing twice as fast in order to get to success twice as fast. This might seem counterintuitive. Whe fail more?
You can not get to greatness if you are not willing to get out of your comfort zone. I am about to learn how to develop apps. I printed out a bunch of papers of how to develop android apps before I left for Europe. My plan is to study these and write my own study course.
Do I expect to fail? Of course! Do I plan to struggle? YES! But I am giving myself a permission to make mistakes with teh idea I will better understand how to develop an app. If I ever chose to develop one I will know how. If chose to sell one.. I will know how.
It would be so easy to just do what I am comfortable ... programming in C++. But the world has changed and I figure I need to join it. Maybe my next ebook will be on how to develop simple apps. Who knows? I better stop writing and get back to failing....
Today's question is:
"What are you doing today at which you might fail?"
