A brief motivational monologue (YouTube video) arguing that failure is a necessary part of learning and eventual success. The speaker encourages experimentation to discover preferences and uses a bench-press analogy (progressing through failures at lower weights) to illustrate how repeated failure leads to higher achievement.
What wakes you up to drive you forward? Is it money? Is it time? Is it both? Is it freedom? What is it? Build something you're proud of? It's okay. You're going to navigate, figure out what you like and don't like. That's part of the process. But you need to fail to do that. If you're not failing, how do you know what you don't like? By the way, if you're not failing, you're definitely not succeeding because you have to fail to succeed. It's like working out. If I'm trying to get £300 on the bench, I have to go to failure at 260, 270, 280 to ultimately get to 300. It's part of the process of discovery.
