3 TED Talks on the importance of failure

 Nov 07, 2016

What do you imagine the road to success to be? Is it a one-way road to the top - or a long journey over hills and valleys, full of twists and turns?

Most probably you have already learned success does not come without setbacks. If you are aiming for success in the long term…prepare for many failures along the way. It’s important to remember that we all experience failure, and there are ways to move through both the good and bad times.

The worst thing you can do is try to avoid failure: you will also end up avoiding success.

The below TED talks explore:

  • How to carry on through failure
  • The excuses that many people use to avoid taking action
  • The continuous journey to success
