Formula for Success

While reading Eric Sink on the Business of Software, I've found a quote that very closely deals with one of my first posts in this blog, the one about mistakes and activities:

Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It's quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure. You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn't as all. You can be discouraged by failure - or you can learn from it. So go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because, remember, that's where you will find success.
