Blog Fail Part 2

As an addendum to my earlier post "Blog Post FAIL," I wanted to add this awesome clip from one of my favorite movies, Meet the Robinsons:


Meet the Robinsons has an excellent message of not being afraid of failure and mistakes. Let me repeat something mentioned in that clip:
From failing, you learn. From success, mmm, not so much.
My initial reaction to that is "well maybe, but I'd prefer to learn from success!" I mean, success teaches us what works, right? That's definitely worth something. But really, think about it: we already focus so much on things that go wrong. Bad things stick in our minds. How many times have we cursed being sick while forgetting to thank God for our health? How much more do we worry about the assignment that had one or two points docked than the ones that received 100%? Let's face it, as humans, we learn a lot from failure.

Something that helps me face that fact? My other favorite quote from that movie:
KEEP MOVING FORWARD!
