the secret to sucess
THE SECRET TO SUCCESS:FAIL A LITTLE I want this new school year to be a good one for my students as they learn about everything from calculus to Shakespeare to failure. That’s right. Failure. We all need to fail a little. In fact,the secret of success,might just be that. Consider the path of Henry David Thoreau. Folks thought that he should have been a civic leader. He could have been a doctor, a lawyer, a teacher. He might even have made congressman or governor. Instead,the Harvard man seemed to spend most of his time loafing in the woods near his hometown over near Walden pond.
