Fail up

This timeless quote by Nobel laureate Samuel Beckett is inspiring and simply means to learn from ones missteps, learn our lessons and get going again. 'The most important thing is to strive to move forward continually. Some days we make great progress in some areas; other days we seem to slide a bit. If we were to chart our progress on a board, it has ups and downs, but overall it should move upward as we live and learn from our mistakes and failures. This is the heart of Failing Up.' Source: The Single Greatest Secret of Leadership: 'Fail Up', from an article in Forbes Magazine

"Ever tried. Ever failed.
No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better." ~ Samuel Beckett

New mantra: Fail fast

Every day that we wake up, we get another chance to get it right, to bounce back from failures big and small - to fail up.

failing out

During exercise, to use your muscles beyond their limits. While being effective to build muscle, doing this at such an early time (Ex: Starting to exercise entirely) it can cause joint or muscle damage and is not advised. Try toning muscle at light weights for a couple months before trying this.

Failing Out: Early= Hurt Muscles and Joints
Later= Effective for Muscle Building
"After Failing out at the Gym Yesterday my arms are looking even better!"
"Ouch, my arms are killing me after I tried failing out last night."

Circle of Fail

The theory that if something/someone fails enough, it eventually becomes win.

John is proof of the Circle of Fail theory: he failed so many times trying to make a World Record that he got the record for "Most Failed Attempts" instead.

Quantum fail

A fail that, when examined extremely closely, fails in a very different and surprising way to the one expected.

Reflects the strange behaviour of subatomic particles when observed.

The contract seemed reasonable, but when I examined the small print I realised it was a QUANTUM FAIL.
