Failure is not good.
Failure is the worst thing possible. You feel sick. You feel like you’re going to die. You feel like if you don’t die you might kill yourlf.
There is absolutely nothing good about failure. And there’s nothing you can pretend to learn from failure.
失败并不是一件好事情。
失败是所有可能的结果里最糟糕的了。你感到难过，觉得自己好像快死掉了，还可能想杀了自己。
失败就是一件彻头彻尾没有好处的事情。你甚至不能假装可以从失败中学到什么。
Lately, we’ve been living in the Golden Age of Failure Porn. Everyone wants to share their story. Everyone wants to “fail forward”.
You can’t learn anything from failure becau don’t forget that every single moment in your past has added up to that one moment in your prent - where you are lying on the floor moaning your painful and abysmal failure.
Stop whining. And stop using the word “failure”. Blah!
现在，我们都生活在“失败哲学的黄金时代”。每个人都想要分享他们的故事。每个人都想着自己会“在失败中前进”。
然而你并不能从失败中学习到任何东西。别忘了，过去每一个时刻累积起来导致了你现在瘫坐在地上为那痛苦又糟糕的失败经历自怨自艾。
别再发牢骚了，也别成天把“失败”挂在嘴边。空谈能有个毛线用！
Here are better things to learn from. Failure has many cousins. Learn from one of the cousins:
比起失败，有更值得学的事情。失败有很多“近亲”，我们可以从这些“近亲”中学习：
Curiosity: When something happens and you don’t understand why, then ask, “Why?”
感谢大自然的馈赠
Keep asking questions. Clearly, something confusing happened. Ask and ask and ask.
Guess what will happen: you will get answers.
好奇：当发生了你无法解释的事情，多问一句“为什么”。
保持问问题的习惯。让问题清楚明晰一点，对那些让你困惑纳闷的事情刨根问底。
猜猜接下去会发生什么：你最终会得到答案的。
Experiment: Sometimes people say Thomas Edison failed 999 times before he finally came up with the lightbulb on the 1000th try.
This is a total lie. It is normal in a lab to experiment with many many materials before coming up with the right one.
Oh! You’re experiment didn’t work? Ok, change something and let’s try a new experiment.
尝试：有时候人们说爱迪生经历了999次失败才最终在第1000次的时候发明了灯泡。
这纯属扯淡。在实验室里，找到最后那个对的材料前，做很多很多次尝试都是再正常不过的事情。
什么，你说你的尝试不起作用？那么，做出改变，然后再做一次新的尝试。
Persistence: I get asked: how do I market my book? Or my app? Answer: write another book. Write another app.
The best way to get better, to get more known, to learn the subtleties of your art or your field or your sport, is to simply do it again.
Persistence + Love = Abundance.
坚持：曾经有人问我，要怎样能让自己的书或者app在市场上大受欢迎？我的回答是，继续写新书，继续做新的app。
让自己变得更优秀、更博学，让自己对文学、体育或者其他专业领域更敏锐的最好方法，
就是再做一次，熟能生巧。

Forgiveness: I ud to live in regret. One time I sold a business for $15 million. Within two years I had lost almost all of the money.
And it wasn’t money on paper. It was money in “real life”. If I tell you how I lost it you would hate me forever. That’s ok. But it’s not important for this answer.
原谅：我一度生活在悔恨之中。那次我做了单1500万美元的生意，使得我在两年的时间内几乎倾家荡产。
那并不是纸上谈兵，而是真实生活中的事情。具体因为什么我沦落到这样的境地就不提了，因为估计我说出来所有人都会讨厌我一辈子。但也无所谓，毕竟我的失败经历和我的这篇回答没有什么关系。
“Failure” is a word ud to label a past event. That’s 100% up to you how you label a past event.
When you label a past event “failure” it prevents you from moving beyond the past. You get stuck there. You keep time traveling to the moment of failure under the excu that there is something to learn there.
桂圆莲子汤The thing you learn first is forgiveness. Then you move back to the prent. Get healthy. Be around people you love. Start being creative again.
领导拜年短信“失败”只能用来标记过去的事情。而怎样标记完全取决于你是怎样看待过去。
当你把过去的事情打上了“失败”的标签，你就不能摆脱它了。你会被困住，打着在“在失败中学习”的借口一次又一次陷入当初失败的阴影中。
首先你要学习的是，原谅你的失败。把注意力从“过去”挪到“现在”来。保持身体健康，和你爱的人待在一起，再次恢复自己的创造力。
Study: When you get a question wrong on a test, a good student doesn’t call it a failure.
It’s a pointer to one single question wrong on a test. Study a bit more next time and you won’t get that question wrong anymore.
Understand and study and remember the correct answer. Don’t keep living in the past where you remember the wrong answer.
学习：一个真正优秀的学生不会认为，测试的时候答错了一道题自己就失败了。
极限跳伞
它就只意味着这次测试答错一个题目。多钻研一点下次就不会再把这个题目答错了。
应该做的是理解、学习并记下正确的答案，而不是一直停留在“记错了答案”的过去当中。
Athletes always go over their loss. They study videos. Go over games. Get advice from coaches. The coach doesn’t say, “here’s where you failed!”
He says, “here’s where you should turn right instead of turn left.”
