Failure Quote of the Day: Fail. Forward. Fast.

Two of my favorites:

Fail. Forward. Fast. (“Reward Excellent Failures, Punish
Mediocre Successes.”)

—Tom Peters

“Fail often to succeed sooner.”

— IDEO company slogan

While I couldn’t find this slogan on their current page, I did enjoy IDEO’s About Us page for more this same point of view.

Failure is a necessary part of success. We need to encourage more failures in order to reach more successes.
