It's not difficult to fail.
Therefore, I want you to fail today.
Actually, I want you to fail today and I want you to fail tomorrow.
Scratch that—I want you to fail today, tomorrow, and every single day of your life.
Why do I want you to fail?
Two reasons.
Number one: failure is how we learn.
Failure is how we learn any skill, any task, any job.
You didn't learn to walk because you just decided it was a good idea one morning.
You learned to walk because you had failed many, many times before.
You tripped, you stumbled, you probably nicked your chin on your parents' coffee table.
You learned to walk because of failure.
And the same can be said about almost any other thing in our lives.
You learned how to ride a bike because of failure.
You learned how to drive a car because of failure.
You learned how to do your current job or to become a parent because of failure.
In fact, if you're a parent, you probably know very well that you have failed every single day since you first became a parent.
And that's okay.
You're a successful parent because of your failure.
Number two: the reason why I want you to fail is because failure shows that we're trying.
Failure shows that we're not afraid to try something new, that we're not afraid to succeed.
You ask any successful person, ask anyone that you deem is a hero of yours, and they'll tell you that they're the sum of their failures.
They got to the position, or they got to the level where they're at, because they failed many, many times.
So fail to learn and fail to show that you're trying.
It's very simple.
