Be Curious: The Failure Manifesto

Image result for failure
While at the now infamous evening celebrating failure, I picked up a pretty interesting handout titled:

"The {failure} manifesto"  
(failure is a substitution)

The 'manifesto' lists 24 things to consider failing at, learning from and living by.  It really started me wondering about which of, and how many of, these I have embraced.

For your interest, here they are - you may ask yourself the same questions:

1) Get rejected
2) Have a setback
3) Get a bad grade
4) Get fired
5) Lose a tournament
6) {Mess up} the system
7) Perfection is rhetorical
8) Focus on the things you value
9) Keep it simple
10) You are probably going to fail
11) If you are looking for recognition, stop
12) If you take yourself seriously, don't
13) Be vulnerable
14) Laugh at your failures and share them with the world
15) Embrace your faults and lovingly help others improve
16) Learn new things
17) Do one thing a day that scares you
18) Be the person you want to be
19) Go out and persist in the face of problems
20) Rise above conflict
21) Don't stop until you get what you love
22) Your true potential is unknown
23) Defeat your ego
24) Be bold and live to the fullest
