PART 3 of 3<br />
You have to learn how to fail in order<br />
to succeed. Here are some famous<br />
failures from history.<br />
When people speak of a “fear of<br />
failure,” they are really describing a<br />
hazy free-floating malaise and feeling<br />
of worry or discontent which induces<br />
lethargy and explains lack of effort. This<br />
malaise protects us from the anxiety that<br />
comes with freedom and taking risks.<br />
We tranquilize our lives by limiting the<br />
amount of anxiety that we experience by<br />
not trying anything new or different that<br />
might fail.<br />
Whenever we attempt to do something<br />
and fail, we end up doing something else<br />
or producing something else. You have<br />
not failed; you have produced some other<br />
result. The two most important questions<br />
to ask are: “What have I learned?” and<br />
“What have I done?”<br />
Failure is only a word that human<br />
beings use to judge a given situation.<br />
Instead of fearing failure, we should learn<br />
that failures, mistakes and errors are the<br />
way we learn and the way we grow. Many<br />
of the world’s greatest successes have<br />
learned how to fail their way to success.<br />
Some of the more famous are:<br />
Charles Darwin<br />
Darwin was chastised by his father for<br />
being lazy and too dreamy. He once wrote<br />
Famous Failures<br />
By Michael Michalko • www.creativethinking,net<br />
that his father and teachers considered<br />
him rather below the common standard<br />
of intellect. When Charles Darwin first<br />
presented his research on evolution,<br />
it was met with little enthusiasm. He<br />
continued to work on his theory of<br />
evolution when all of his colleagues<br />
called him a fool and what he was doing<br />
“a fool’s experiment.”<br />
Steven Spielberg<br />
While today Spielberg’s name is<br />
synonymous with big budget, he was<br />
rejected from the University of Southern<br />
California School of Theater, Film and<br />
Television three times. He eventually<br />
attended school at another location, only<br />
to drop out to become a director before<br />
finishing. Thirty-five years after starting<br />
his degree, Spielberg returned to school<br />
in 2002 to finally complete his work and<br />
earn his BA.<br />
Michaelangelo<br />
The artist genius of the ages is<br />
Michelangelo. His competitor’s<br />
once tried to set him up for<br />
failure or force him to forgo<br />
a commission because of the<br />
possibility of failure. Michelangelo’s<br />
competitors persuaded Junius II to assign<br />
to him a relatively obscure and difficult<br />
project. It was to fresco the ceiling of a<br />
private chapel. The chapel had already<br />
been copiously decorated with frescoes<br />
by many talented artists. Michelangelo<br />
would be commissioned to decorate<br />
the tunnel-vaulted ceiling. In this way,<br />
his rivals thought they would divert his<br />
energies from sculpture, in which they<br />
realized he was supreme. This, they<br />
argued, would make things hopeless<br />
for him, since he had no experience<br />
in fresco, he would certainly, they<br />
believed, do amateurish work<br />
as a painter. Without doubt,<br />
they thought, he would be<br />
compared unfavorably with<br />
Raphael, and even if the work<br />
were a success, being forced to<br />
do it would make him angry<br />
with the Pope, and thus one<br />
way or another they would<br />
succeed in their purpose of<br />
getting rid of him.<br />
Michelangelo, protesting that<br />
painting was not his art, still took<br />
on the project. In every way it was<br />
a challenging task. He had never used<br />
color, nor had he painted in fresco. He<br />
executed the frescos in great discomfort,<br />
having to work with his face looking<br />
upwards, which impaired his sight so<br />
badly that he could not read or look<br />
at drawings save with his head turned<br />
backwards, and this lasted for several<br />
months. In that awkward curved space,<br />
Michelangelo managed to depict the<br />
history of the Earth from the Creation<br />
to Noah, surrounded by ancestors and<br />
prophets of Jesus and finally revealing<br />
the liberation of the soul. His enemies<br />
had stage managed the masterpiece<br />
that quickly established him as the artist<br />
genius of the age.<br />
Fred Astaire<br />
In his first screen test, the testing<br />
director of MGM noted that Astaire<br />
“Can’t act. Can’t sing. Slightly<br />
bald. Not handsome. Can<br />
dance a little.” Astaire went<br />
on to become an incredibly<br />
successful actor, singer and<br />
dancer and kept that note in<br />
his Beverly Hills home to remind<br />
him of where he came from.<br />
