Success and Failure Aren’t as Different as They Seem

Will my new business succeed or fail? Thinking about this reminded me of something Kano Jigoro, the founder of judo, said.

Paradoxically, the man who has failed and one who is at the peak of success are in exactly the same position. Each must decide what he will do next, choose the course that will lead him to the future.

Of course, he was talking about judo. But, his point stands for other parts of life.

Failure isn’t the end. It’s part of the journey. What you do after failing is key.

Success isn’t the end either. Without wise decisions, failure follows.

So, how will you react in that instance, when you fail or succeed? How will you reflect and learn? How will you begin or continue your success?

I have to answer these questions soon.
