F = failure…

1. Such wise words!

   1. Thank you. They are words I find myself repeating quite often.

2. Very interesting post. As Thomas Edison said: “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” I love that quote.
   I have another blog in the A to Z challenge here: Around My Kitchen Table

   1. People who are successful understand the patience and perseverance that is needed to see past what seems to be failure to what will become success.

3. I’ve felt a lot like a failure lately. I am trying to learn a new cable knitting pattern and I keep having to rip it and start over. I know I have started this thing over at least 10 times already. I am really surprised that I bothered to try it again after messing up the first time. But, I did. The biggest problem is that I am very forgetful, not remember which stitch I just did. One thing that I’ve learned through this experience is to write each step down right after I do it, this way I can keep up with whether it is time to put the stitches to the front or the back of the piece. I have made it 21 rows on this project now without having to rip it out again. YAYAY! — Here’s hoping I didn’t just jinx myself by rejoicing!

   1. The failure would be to stop knitting. Sounds like you have worked out how to conquer the pattern. One stitch at a time is the way to go.

      1. I’ve worked it out on that pattern, but not so much on another one. I made the mistake of trying another one without writing each step that I took. After having to rip out yet another headband this morning, I was very near to just taking all the knitting needles out to the garbage man. But, I will give it another go. Eventually, it will work out. Eventually, I will remember to just write down absolutely everything. 🙂

4. I fail to be the person I want to be on almost a daily basis, but the next day I get up determined to try again, and some days I even get it right! 🙂 Failure isn’t fatal, it’s just a learning experience, the only thing that’s fatal is giving up. Great choice for an F-word, Patricia! 🙂

   1. If we were everything and had everything what would that tell us? Maybe that we are taking life for granted and not really living as we are meant to.

5. I think by failing is how we really learn. I used to tell my kids that it was okay to make a mistake because that’s how we learn perhaps not to repeat it again.

   1. If we never made a mistake that would just tell us we are wasting away and not really living.

6. Failing is just a lesson learned.

   1. True. The trick is to take what you learned and use the lesson to help with the next step.

      1. 👍🏻

7. Very true. You learn more from a failure than you do from a success.

   1. If nothing else I learn what not to do.
