Great article Danny, straight to the point and very valuable information! 🔥
If you’re not successful doing XYZ once, you can get back up and try it again! 💪 Failing doesn’t exist as long as you’re learning.
I completely agree. Thank you Baran! Really glad that you liked the article!
Failing is definitely important and most people say their learn more from their failing than other times in their lives. I think it is important to not go into something without a plan or it will fail without the perceived success the idea originally had. So fail fast, but have at least a framework of a plan before you dive in.
Great article!
I was once in a planning meeting, where a Junior developer proclaimed "We can't do that - we have to write tests first, and there's no test coverage at all in the application, so it's going to take too much time for us to safely make that change!"
It just so happened that one of the Directors was present in the meeting, and his immediate reply was "Don't be silly, children learn to walk by falling over. Lets not be afraid of mistakes."
Or as I recently said to the same Director: "risk is just an opportunity in disguise."
It's important to note that there are LOTS of failures that can't be appraised as such in a few hours, days, weeks, or even, at times, months.
In any case, it's not just a matter of failing and moving on to something new. First of all, failing absolutely sucks, if you care about the thing that failed at all (and if you don't, your next thing will likely fail too). Second, you need to evaluate why you failed, so you can avoid making the same mistakes.
Don't dwell on them to the point of beating yourself up, but your failures deserve postmortems and recognition of the pain they cause.
Great article. Precise and useful.
Failure is an important aspect of life. If you are failing at something, that means you are moving forward in the learning/understanding process. It is the best motivation. When I fail at something, I get more motivated and give more effort than the previous time and get the work done. The only thing not to do is give up. 🙂✌
