Fail or Succeed Quickly

 Bismillah.


Failing or (succeeding) quickly allows us to test hypothesis or potential solutions efficiently. I am a believer in executing on your vision or idea as quickly as possible so that you can either build on your idea and/or move on to your next contribution to the world. 

John Maxwell writes in his book, Failing Forward, "The difference between average people and achieving people is their perception of and response to failure."

John Maxwell also cites a Thomas Edison quote, "Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up."

I haven't read the full book, Failing Forward, but Maxwell's main thesis to redefine how we look at failure and treat it as a stepping stone towards success.
