    Thanks Rod – it’s natural for people to remember “The Great And The Good” for their successes. But too often we forget that the price of success is often repeated failure. Naturally, that doesn’t get talked about a whole lot !

    Thanks for reminding us !

    All the best,

    Roger

    Thanks, Roger :)

    Yes people forget or they just figure it all happened overnight…which is very seldom the case.

    Cheers,
    Rod

    Thanks for the video link Rod.

    I have always learnt the most from my failures in life. Sometimes have found that it was better for me to not succeed at something, and learn from that experience to come back better than ever.

    One thing I have always noticed in any competitive sports is when people lose, they all too often forget to look at what they were doing to wrong or what their opponent/s were better at. They just go off sulking or in anger, far too often blaming luck factors. And ultimately totally disregarding the game / match .. .etc.
    These losses are far too valuable to ignored, so much can be learnt from looking back on them.

    Failures are goldmines!

    Rod,

    Very cool video. Not sure if I agree with Life = Risk , more like Life = Goals is more along along what I seem to think.

    To those that failed in the video, I’m pretty sure they never believed in failure, just learning…

    See you at the top.

    Hey Rod,
    Thanks for sharing the video. It’s always darkest just before the dawn! As long as we learn from our failures and don’t give up we can get to the next level. Sometimes it is difficult to move on but that’s what all the people in the video did. Great lesson -thanks

    Life = risk. If you have never failed, you won’t know what is success.
