Everybody succeeds!

Real Estate Broker/Owner with WHISPERING PINES REALTY 20398180

Talking with my Grand Daughter this evening she talk about a friend who failed in a task that they were doing.

We talked a bit more and I told her that her friend didn't just fail, they also succeeded.

"How" she asked.

Well, your friend succeeded in failing to complete the task.  Not all successes are GOOD!  Not all failure is bad.  I failed to run through a yellow light today, but succeeded in not getting hit by the car that took off early.

Success comes in many colors.  We just have to look color that looks the best on us.

So true and a failure in one thing is just a lesson how not to do something to add to our aresenal for the future endavors.

Bill...

I actually had to think about that a while! Today, I was a great success at failing.

Bill, as a retired teacher, I will sa that failure is good in many cases. Most often if a student falls on his/her face on a task because they approached it wrong,they will never fail on that task again.

Bill,

When we fail we also learn what not to do the next time.

The success that I speak of is not always what we want.
