Thats like what James Cameron said Failure Is an Option, but Fear Is Not at the end of his TED talk and I love it. We shouldnt be afraid of facing failure. Try to accept it and learn from it. Make room for failure Nobody wants to fail, but failure is often on your way to success. George Bernard Shaw said, A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable (可敬的), but more useful than a life spent doing nothing. So if you never fail then it probably means that you do nothing. Failure shows that you actually do something instead of just sitting in your comfortable seat. Learn from each failure Dont just fail and get nothing out of it. Learn something from each failure that makes you better and better. Fail fast Time is precious, so if you failed then youd better fail fast. Why? Because it will make you learn and improve faster. Dont wait until everything is perfect. Instead, test your idea in the real world as soon as possible. Dont choose fear Many people dont want to work on something unknown.
