Steve Jobs on Failure

I’ve never found anyone who didn’t want to help me if I asked them for help. Most people never pick up the phone and call; most people never ask. And that’s what separates, sometimes, the people who do things and the people that just dream about them. You gotta act, and you gotta be willing to fail. You gotta be willing to crash and burn. With people on the phone, with starting a company, with whatever.

If you’re afraid of failing, you won’t get very far.

Steve Jobs

Failure can be scary. Especially if you’ve never failed at anything before. But all successful people fail. The most successful people fail constantly. If you’re not failing on a weekly basis, you’re not trying hard enough.
