“Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better.” ~Samuel Beckett
It’s this profound quote that renowned broadcast journalist Tavis Smiley says has guided him along his life journey and inspired him in writing his renowned book, Fail Up: 20 Lessons on Building Success from Failure.
Smiley guides readers throughout the book along his life journey with started with humble beginnings. In this inspiring book, he helps them to understand what he has come to realize: failure is not an idea or an option unless you allow it to be. He emphasizes to readers that instead of allowing what you consider to be “failures” be called “failures,” change your perception about them. Instead, think of them as “learning experiences” ones that can drive you and guide you to the success that you will eventually achieve. However, you must be determined and committed to your goal, not allowing setbacks to get in the way.
The New York Times best-selling book is also full of funny moments that highlight Smiley’s “missteps, misdeeds, and even miscalculations.” But at the heart of it, it’s honest and real, inspiring all generations, especially our generation to never allow anything to prevent from us becoming all that we are capable of being.
Reflecting on the more than 20 years worth of broadcast experience, Smiley uses his book as a way to motivate readers to realize that every day we have a chance to move past what we consider to be “mistakes” towards fulfilling our purpose and our dreams. We just have to believe that we can and never get sidetracked by the obstacles, fears, doubts, and discouragements that may come along our journey.
Know, you have everything in you to succeed and fulfill your dreams. We hope this book will encourage you to for once in your life, “fail up.” Happy reading this month’s inspiring read!
