Yes, I think failure has to have a little burn to it for it to lead to an eventual success. The reason I think so is that fundamentally it teaches a person to be humble and recognize his or her own limitations. If they are able to acknowledge and absorb that, they start to look for advice or information that will help them solve the problem. We can celebrate what we have learned but also recognize that failure is not our desired end point. Failure is an inevitable and necessary part of the journey but we need grit and persistence to reach a success which sometimes means changing the end goal too.
Here is a quote from Bucky: “Never forget that you are one of a kind. Never forget that if there weren't any need for you in all your uniqueness to be on this earth, you wouldn't be here in the first place. And never forget, no matter how overwhelming life's challenges and problems seem to be, that one person can make a difference in the world. In fact, it is always because of one person that all the changes that matter in the world come about. So be that one person. ” ― R. Buckminster Fuller
Your health care liability podcast (ep. 562) mentions the need for legal coverage for healthcare providers to do the right thing to prevent deaths due to error. Please consider legal coverage for students, teachers and school counselors to report red flags that prevent school shootings (ep. 561). If a kid, or a teacher, or a counselor reports a suicide red flag and nothing happens, they can suffer personal and professional consequences. Please consider how we can change the incentives so people aren't afraid to say something.
