3 commentsWould you like me to give you a formula for success? It’s quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure. You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn’t at all. You can be discouraged by failure – or you can learn from it. So go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because, remember that’s where you will find success.
—Thomas J. Watson, Sr.

This is so very true. Failure breeds success. I failed at my first two ventures and luckily I learned a great deal from them. Thanks for letting others in on this.

Well, if this is true, I should be WILDLY SUCCESSFUL any doggone second now! Because I’ve had enough failures to last twenty lifetimes!
This is the website of one David Thomson (aka dwlt) from Edinburgh, Scotland. It contains the results of my patented thinking-out-loud process.
According to the about page, I'm a miscellaneist — at any given moment I'm a game designer, entrepreneur, programmer, consultant, and/or writer. I also read a lot.
If my ideas are intriguing to you, why not subscribe?
Perhaps you'd like to subscribe to my thoughts? Or perchance peruse the archives?
