The first time you try something newβand several times after thatβyou won't achieve mastery. If you do, perhaps it's time to call Guinness World Records!

Fallibility is a part of who we are
We can learn to live joyfully with our fallibility & that starts with learning how to fail well: preventing basic failures, anticipating complex ones, & cultivating the appetite for more intelligent failures
πQuote from pg264 in #RightKindOfWrong bit.ly/RKWBook
How do you diagnose a #failure? Start by looking at the cause & context in which the failure occurs
If your failure took place in a novel context and stemmed from well-researched experimentation, it's likely an #IntelligentFailure!
