February 19, 2020 – Book notes: Failing Forward
Failing
Forward, Turning mistakes into stepping stones for success by John C.
Maxell is the topic of my blog today.
When
I read a “self-help” book, from the library, I take notes in the form of an
outline or copying out entire passages. I am especially fond of quotations. This book created a treasure trove of
quotations and ideas as well as my own thought process of what I had failed and
why.
If
you are STUCK – I suggest you obtain this book – either purchasing or finding
it at the library and give it a read. It
makes you think and gets you revived up for action to take control of your life.
Sometimes
we just need a reminder or a kick in the pants – this book should take care of
that need easily.
Here is a sample:
“In
life, the question is not if you will have problems, but how you are going to
deal with your problems. If the possibility of failure were erased, what would
you attempt to achieve?
The essence of man is imperfection. Know that you're going to make mistakes. The fellow who never makes a mistake takes his orders from one who does. Wake up and realize this: Failure is simply a price we pay to achieve success.

This
book is crammed with quotations and the last two days I have been transcribing
my notes. The quotations are just as
meaningful and viable today as the day I jotted them down.
When
I was checking on the availability of this book online so that I could
reference it properly, I noticed a website entitled: Failing Forward Quotes.
