OVERCOME FAILURES
Avoiding failure also prevents us focusing on going the resiliency
needed to cope with it, a vital element of bouncing back. The reality is
that failure is commonplace but so is overcome it and pushing through
to more successful endeavors in the future. Even where a failure
cannot be salvaged, there is always something to be learned from it.
To expect the process of living to always be smooth sailing is to invite
a lack of realism into our life.

at the same time. de-stress whenever possible. take calculated
risks. even if he is not around the firm should run as smooth
as always.
