"This isn't a rule, but it's statistical: a noble error makes up 99% of the delicious brew of success. Learn from feedback to fail forward. To innovate forward, think forward, invent forward, act forward, fail forward, learn forward, re-emerge forward, and restart smarter! Treat every failure as a deblinder, a sparring partner, and a wise guide – and it becomes a step upward."
