About this listen

 It seems that some people are born to achieve anything they want. Some would say they are lucky, are blessed, or have the Midas touch. But what truly is the reason for their success? Family background, wealth, greater opportunities, high morals, an easy childhood? New York Times best selling author John C. Maxwell has the answer: The difference between average people and achieving people is their perception of and response to failure.

Maxwell says that if you are like him, you were never prepared to deal with failure. Coming out of school, he feared it, misunderstood it, and ran away from it. But he's learned to make failure his friend, and he can teach you to do the same.

Changing perspective

Through this book I learned about failure and how the way we interpret our failures in life, we can achieve higher goals.

"The only way to get ahead is to fail early..."

"The only way to get ahead is to fail early, fail often and fail forward." (John C. Maxwell, Failing Forward) If you want a different take on failure, then you definitely should read this book. If you are not failing, then you probably are not achieving much. You need to try something harder. Most of the greatest achievers that have ever lived were once the greatest failures and the author gives many examples of these superachievers. As Henry Ford says, "Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently." Fail forward, not backward. The author will show you the steps :) #Audible1
