Thank you Ngozi.
Long before my work life, I resented failure. I avoided any contest that spells failure for me. I would rather be absent than fail for whatever reason. I felt that failing was a statement to my person.
Today, after many failures, I know better. 🙂
At first, failure tastes bitter, then sour, and down the palate, it begins to taste bland. Only when failure is stomached, do we see the honey in it. We learn a lot from failing, or reading about other people’s failure. And while success enjoys incredible spotlight, it is the moments of failure that often births the resilience that help us arrive at success. Dear friend, fail often! Learn.
