All of us in life, one time on another feel like a failure, or that whatever we try or to, it seems the universe is against it. I for sure have had those times in my life. With life challenges, failure is a part of the becoming successful and achieving process.
In this podcast, my tag line is “a book a day keeps failures at bay.” we Cannot totally avoid failure as it is a part of our life, we simply need to learn our lessons from each failure or mistake and become better. That is the main lesson of this book.

J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter novels
She was in public assistance when she was wrote the first book of what would become one of the best selling series in history. The book was rejected by a dozen publishers. The only reason it got published at all was because the CEO's eight year old daughter begged him to publish it.
JK Rowling once said.. “Failure meant a stripping away of the inessential.” - J.K. Rowling
Even - President FDR Sanctioned the imprisonment of Japanese-Americans in WW2

They just learned from their mistakes and used them as stepping stones into success.
Let us learn and apply Seven Principles for Failing Forward from the Author.
