Success is not about winning a competition. It’s about making a contribution.
— Adam Grant
Takers aim to be better than others. Givers strive to bring out the best in others. The most meaningful way to succeed is to help others succeed.

Try, Try Again

Some of you will have seen this poem, but I fielded a question about it recently and wanted to revisit what is a sometimes painful yet ultimately encouraging truth:
Ever tried.Ever failed.
No matter.
Try again.
Fail again.
Fail better.
—Samuel Beckett
Not “stop trying.” Not “don’t fail.” Fail better. It’s a sentiment close to the heart of many writers:)
