The 3 F's of Success
In 1903, George Bernard Shaw said, “The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.”
Stepping beyond our comfort zone is just what the prolific Shaw was talking about. And to do that we often have to be (or appear to be) unreasonable. So why do we think everything has to be perfect - right now. Uncle George didn't tell us that the unreasonable person is perfect in trying to adapt the world to himself. He said that the unreasonable person is persistent. And persistence means get moving.
And when we're moving we're bound to experience the three F's of success - Fail Forward Fast. That's not one "F" - Fail. Or two "F's" - Fail Forward. It's three "F's" - Fail Forward Fast.
So what are you waiting for. Get moving. Fail Forward Fast. And get on with Success.
