Entry #12

This week for the $100.00 challenge, I had the opportunity to create a presentation about my business to report on my experience. I appreciated the opportunity to do that because it allowed me calculate my profits and/or losses and it also allowed time to reflect on what I had learned from this experience. When considering the importance of failure on the path to success, I feel it to be absolutely crucial. I think that it is safe to assume that everyone who has been able to achieve success has had to face great failure in the process. Failure is what teaches us how to be more successful the next time around. If it were not for failure, we would not know what needed to be changed and we also would not learn nearly as much. Failure is an important part of life. There are countless stories of very successful people who first had to face one or multiple major failures before they were able to achieve that success. Michael Jordan, for example, was actually cut from the basketball team in high school, and it is clear that that failure taught him what he needed to do in order to become better at basketball.
