Failing Forward

By: John C. Maxwell

Narrated by: John C. Maxwell

It seems that some people are born to achieve anything they want. Some would say they are lucky, are blessed, or have the Midas touch. But what truly is the reason for their success? Family background, wealth, greater opportunities, high morals, an easy childhood? New York Times best selling author John C. Maxwell has the answer: The difference between average people and achieving people is their perception of and response to failure.

Maxwell says that if you are like him, you were never prepared to deal with failure. Coming out of school, he feared it, misunderstood it, and ran away from it. But he's learned to make failure his friend, and he can teach you to do the same.

excellent advice and knowledge

excellent advice. I found myself dwelling on the fears of failing and I can see how it has held me back from making progress in many areas. I really like the situation he describes about professor with the pottery class. amazing how much better you will get when you focus on moving forward and learning from your mistakes rather than being perfect the first time.
