I'm Eric Sue and I'm Neil pateal and today we are going to talk about the right way versus the wrong way to view failure. So in the last episode, by the way we talked about I gave a quote from Bill Gates and he has said that success is a lousy teacher. Right. You typically will learn more from your failure. So Neil, you want to go first? Yeah, it was funny. So I was on a podcast interview earlier today with a guy named Ezra Firestone, and we were talking about success and I was like, honestly, first off, I don't think I'm successful. I think I still have a long way to go. And he was talking about how I've done okay over the years, and he used much kinder words than I use. I'm a little bit more harsh around myself than other people maybe, And I was telling him the real trick is when I first started off, because it's been nineteen years since I started entrepreneurship, the first four or five years I didn't do well because I made a lot of mistakes, and I made the same mistakes over and over again. It wasn't until it was in my mid twenties until things really started to take off. And I learned at that time. And I learned actually many things over the years, but what I really learned, what really helped me get to where I was, is you're going to make a lot of mistakes. It doesn't matter if you're Elon Muss or Mark Zuckerberg or me. They're much smarter than me, though, everyone's going to make mistakes. Elon's first rocket that he sent up for SpaceX didn't succeed. I don't even think it one succeeded either. Yeah, tick three. And what people don't realize is is we all make mistakes, no matter who we are, and the real key to succeeding is to continue to learn from your mistakes and avoid making the same one over and over again. Like Eric here is much more smarter than me, especially when it comes to school and books and things like that, and he reads way more than me. And what I've learned over the years is I'm not the smartest person. I'm going to make a ton of mistakes, and I did until I was in my mid twenties, and heck I still make them today, just not as many in quantity. And what I've learned is you just got to avoid making the same mistakes over and over again, and eventually it will lead you down a path of what you should be doing. And when I look at my life now, it's again, I'm not smart. It's just more so I've made so many mistakes and I've crossed them off and I've said, hey, Neil, don't make this same exact mistake again. And even though I make mistakes now, it's just there's not as many to make because I've already made the majority of them and I've just been doing this long enough. Yep. By the way, and so Neil saying all these nice words, but I think one of the key things about this might be unique to both of us. I don't think a lot of people are like this, but maybe people from Asian culture. Asian cultures are harsher on themselves. And for me, at least, I'm very harsh on myself to the point where it might become even degrading to some point, and people are like, oh my god, you shouldn't be so hard on yourself. It's negative. It's actually not negative for me because the moment I start to think that I'm good, that's when I start to get cocky. Right, I don't want to get cocky, nor do I want to get complacent. So the way I look at it, and this whole thing around the book, I've comeing out leveling up. It's just about making more failures, making more mistakes, right, Like, failures are just experienced, because if you don't fail, you're not going to gain the experience that you need, so to me, it is fuel. Right. To me, it's like a lot of people that haven't had success yet, it's like, well, you know, maybe you haven't struggled enough, you haven't made enough mistakes yet. So to me, they're a good thing, right. I think the way we're brought up through school the lens is, oh, if you get an F for whatever, it's bad, it's not reality. Right. It's not just about cramming for a test and doing really well. So you know, one of the key quotes I remember is you're never as good as they say they are or say you are, but you're also never as bad as they say you are either, Right, So you want to keep it kind of even keel and just look at failure as it is your fuel. It's going to help make you stronger, it's going to make you better. Write no pain, no gain. When you're out there, let's say you're at the gym or whatever. You're constantly staying consistent with your efforts, and over the years you're going to get stronger. It's not just going to be the next day or even if you worked out for a week. That is what it is, right, So that's what it is I think the wrong way is to say, oh, failure is a bad thing because of how it is condition growing up. The right way is saying, hey, you know what, I'm gonna get better and I'm gonna be successful because that's what it takes to be great at marketing or great at business in general. Neil, anything else, I'm good on mine? Cool? So that is it for today. Everyone, check out Marketing School the ioslash Pro again. I'll keep it fast. It's one dollar for fourteen days.
