Hi Catherine, I very much enjoyed your interesting article. You mention that mistakes and failures are often viewed in a negative light. It is SO easy not to experience failures – simply remain with the tried and tested; the habitual; the predictable; where there is an absence of risk and change. Many people do just that and remain within their safe comfort zones. They do not encounter failures because they are not attempting anything in life. By not venturing outside, they eliminate risks but severely limit their personal and professional growth. I regard setbacks as learning experiences – they are stepping stones to success. Kindest regards Alan
