Wouldn’t It Be Cool If: we learned from HISTORY?
WIBCI we embraced our failures? or at least made lemonade?
Elvis was told in an audition not to quit his day job;
The script for Rocky was rejected dozens of times and it won Best Picture and Best Director (nominated for 10 oscars);
Edouard Manet failed his navel exam and became a painter;
In high school, Michael Jordan didn’t make the varsity basketball team as a sophomore and became Michael Jordan.
Leonardo Da Vinci was a bastard and therefore couldn’t go into the family business (notaries), so became THE BEST HUMAN BEING EVER.
What do you learn from more, than failures? Honestly think about it, what made YOU learn more than failing?
Ever do something embarrassingly and shamefully unfortunate on a field or stage in front of many, many eyeballs?
If YOU ever got the nerve to do that thing again, you learned.
Way more valuable than participation trophies in my opinion, what do YOU think?
