A Lean Journey 
On Fridays I will post a Lean related Quote. Throughout our lifetimes many people touch our lives and leave us with words of wisdom. These can both be a source of new learning and also a point to pause and reflect upon lessons we have learned. Within Lean active learning is an important aspect on this journey because without learning we can not improve.
“I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying.” — Michael Jordan
Success
always starts with the knowledge of what failure would be, because if you
haven’t defined what failure is, you haven’t defined what it isn’t, i.e.
success.

Ultimately
though, we most often learn through trial and error. We reserve the word
success for the accomplishment of difficult things and there are few difficult
things you get right on the first try.

Hence
while success does not ALWAYS start with failure, it would be fair to say it
does most of the time. If you aren’t failing, you’re not trying, and if you
aren’t trying you aren’t succeeding.

Some
of the most successful people are those who fail the most. With each failure
you grow, you become bigger, you learn new and important things and you get one
step closer to reaching your goals.

Big
dreams and big goals can only be realized as long as you are ready to fail –
again and again. Learn from the most successful people and adopt a similar
attitude towards failure.

Successful people will never laugh at you or judge you when you fail, because
they have already been there and they know about the valuable lessons you can
learn from failure.

Treat
every mistake as an opportunity to learn and grow. Don’t feel stupid or doomed
forever just because you failed at something. You can always find other opportunities.
Failure is an expected part of the process of finding solutions.

Fear
of failure is a genuinely scary thing for many people, and often the reason
that individuals do not attempt the things they would like to accomplish. But
the only true failure is failure to make the attempt. If you don’t try, you
gain nothing, and life is too short a thing to waste.
