We have been lying to ourselves about failure
Sep 5, 2016
Quartz - There’s a neat cultural narrative that failure is a stepping-stone to success. You see it in Silicon Valley’s “fail fast” mantra, which implies failure is a necessary learning experience for those who then find success, and among prominent professors who publish CVs of their failures on the way to the top. Though this may be more realistic than pretending impressive people never fail, it’s still overly simplistic.
