I like how you've turned this fear of failure concept around suggesting to "set a daily goal to fail at something."

Again, is failure really that great of an option when other people's lives are on the line? Survey says...that depends on the lawsuit and criminal charges.

Hey Andrew J! I liked your article and have the same thoughts of failure. It's all a big learning experience :)
@JRandom42-I wrote an article on failure (http://leadingassociates.net/?p=390) awhile back, and you made the same argument here on Brazen about your wife being in healthcare. Again, most corporate professionals are not put in life-or-death situations.

@JRandom42 - Obviously failure as an option does not apply in those circumstances. I believe that our world allows almost any choice to be made freely as long as it does not harm or injure others. In that same sense, one cannot choose failure in those situations.
@Jason Simon - Thanks! All the credit goes to my mentor who left me with that same message. I'm trying to start practicing what I preach, just like he does.
@Trina Wellendorf - Yup, that's what life is. One big learning experience.
