I succeed because I fail

kind of a weird title huh? There was actually a Michael Jordan comercial once based off of that line.

What I mean by that is I learn from my mistakes and often find successes based off of them. Recently Business Week magazine listed companies and individuals to name a time when they failed and what they learned from failure. It so happens that companies often turn huge failures into success by noting what they did wrong in a new product launch as example (new coke anyone?) and not repeat their mistakes but alter them enough in order to be successfull. You have heard of the Wright Brothers correct? You think they were able to fly on the first...second...even third try? Nope they were miserable failures in the beginning, but they didn't give up and learned from their failures, eventually succeeding in flight.

The bottom line is "fall down seven times and get up eight". Don't ever give in or give up, but take your failures as life lessons and learn from them, improve yourself everyday and eventually you will break through with a winning idea, product, design, thought, etc.

Oh, and if anyone says they are perfect, then they are lying.
