Failure of Title

First Fail of the day ... although somewhat intentional. The title of this blog sounds really bleak and depressing, like someone's checklist of why to kill themselves. I assure you it's not, although this is meant to be a list of daily failures, the purpose of the list is to point out what they are and how to build upon them. After all, our failures provide us the greatest learning opportunities of all.

Don't believe me? Let me point it out then. If your really good at something ... do you ever really practice it? if you do, you only get a marginal return on your investment. However if you try and fail something, your learning opportunity is vast and you can increase your learning by untold amounts.

Hehe, Fail #2 of the day, meant to give an example to illustrate in the previous paragraph and rambled on instead. Here's the example: Your good at breathing, most people are, it's something that most don't think of or practice at. And if for some reason you do practice at it, your going to increase your skill marginally. However .... fail #3, can't think of anything to compare that to .... Ooh I got it now. However, most people aren't good at fighting and in-fact fail / lose their first fight. By failing at it they will analyze why they lost and in turn devise alternate strategies for the next time they are in that situation hence forth increasing their skill level monumentally.

Thats it for now, can't wait to see what else I fail at today.
