Jumia Books FAILING FORWARD

Some people go through life as though they’re invulnerable, achieving everything they want to achieve and often with little to no disruption along the way. But it’s not just luck or a Midas touch that these people are blessed with – rather, Maxwell says, “The difference between average people and achieving people is their perception of and response to failure.”

Most of us aren’t raised to be prepared for failure, and in fact most of us actively fear it, avoiding situations in which failure seems like a possibility. In this book, Maxwell’s message is that we’re approaching it the wrong way, and that failure can be a friend to us if only we’ll allow it. Failure shouldn’t be a force that holds us back – it should be something that drives us forward.
