Failure "Failure leads to success," Is a statement I heard today. How do we learn if we do not try? So failure can't stand in the way. To never take a risk in thought word or deed Or to step out and try something new, To get outside of the conventional box Is what innovative leaders do. So it's important to fail some times To get outside of our comfort zone, For that's how we meet new challenges And new concepts are formed and grown. From holding the golf club to learning the game From learning to write to the computer age, Many failures were first experiences But failure was not the gauge. Failure was only the impetus To encourage men to continue to fight. To bring to reality the dreams they had And their failures gave them insight. So failure can be important For you as well as for me, For by stepping outside of our own little box Is where creative ideas seem to be. ©Sue McCollum 3-22-12 |
