It’s ok to fail, it’s not ok to not try

Friday, January 11th, 2019

Dear Reader,

  • I tried to learn to play the Trumpet
  • I opened a hosting company whose selling point was ‘secure shared hosting’
  • I tried to learn to dance (NO! Pictures are not available)
  • I tried to re-package ‘ShareWare’ and sell it
  • I tried to learn to play the piano

I am not ashamed of any of these failures. I am proud that I pushed myself into new areas, even if it was only to find that I am not good in those areas.

Failure is not something to be ashamed of, never trying is.

Until next time
I <3 |<
