Most of us have been schooled to fear failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Having low grades means that we will not pass the exam, we will not go to college, we will not have a good job… <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We will not get a good future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But as scientists we fail for years in a row, inventing as many failed experiments as we can to test a theory. And we call it “results”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As athletes we fail all the time, to become stronger, faster and more agile. And we call it “training.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As martial artists we learn to fail in a controlled way, to avoid hurting our training partners. And we call it “keiko”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That’s because “practicing” is not getting it right the first time.
It is making mistakes as many times as necessary to improve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
…<\/p>\n\n\n\n …<\/p>\n\n\n\n So now that we no longer have to worry about grades, we can pass the test by simply showing up. Ready to fail as much as we can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We can even become happier, while doing it, which we\u2019d surely call a huge success.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/daikukai.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/0-Here-To-Fail-Blog-by-DAIKUKAI.jpg?resize=700%2C700&ssl=1\")
