Is it OK to Fail?

Blog quote #1189... 
"It's OK to fail--everyone else has." -Hal Urban-  

How  good is that? How TRUE is that? It's 100% true, for,  the only people, who have never failed-- have never  tried to achieve something. It's called LIFE. It's experience. It's  learning the ups and down, the nooks and crannies, ins and outs, ebbs and flows of this planet.

Here's a  quick test. Think of the best human you know of, at anything. Beethoven, Bill Gates, Jack Nicklaus, Fred Astaire, Paul Newman,Thomas Edison(well we know that story), Picasso, Michael Jordan, Michael Phelps.  

Do you think they ever failed? Yes. Multiple, many, mega times. More than we'd probably care to know. So go out there and get after it. Don't even give a second towards "What if I fail?" In fact, sometimes failure is good-- on your way to success. Onward!

PS-  Speaking of greats, if you want to read a book by one of the greatest teachers ever(IMO) pick up a copy of Hal's book  "Life's Greatest Lessons"

That's my view.. what say you?
