Success is art. Failure is science

"Don't laugh at those who aren't fighting. - Chiaki

☆ Expelled from high school basketball team

☆ Denied entry to drama school three times

☆ Fired from a newspaper editor position for 'lack of ideas and creativity'

This is the story of Michael Jordan, Steven Spielberg, and Walt Disney.

There's one factor that makes realizing dreams impossible.

That's being afraid of failure.

Unfortunately, during our growth, we adopt the idea that 'failure is bad.'

As a result, even if we fail once, we give up our goals and stop seeking new challenges.

Because the first attempt didn't go well, because someone rejected us, because results weren't immediate...

We start avoiding challenges because of failure.

'I want to do ○○ in the future.'

'I want to be ○○ in the future.'

I love hearing people say those words.

But I'd like you to think about yourself.

"So what are you doing now?"

'Want to do' and 'tried it' are different dimensions.

'Want to do' is art.

'Tried it' is science.

Art has no reproducibility.

Science does.

By trying it, you can collect data.

"This failed when I did this," "This went well when I did this," and so on.

Through experimentation, you can verify, and if you can reproduce it, that's science.

Listening to successful people's stories isn't helpful.

Because the biggest factor in success is 'luck,' which lacks reproducibility.

In contrast, stories of failure are helpful.

Because that failure isn't just theirs; it's likely you'd fail too if you tried.

Consider failure as an experiment and verify it repeatedly.

Then you're already a scientist.

Jobs with reproducibility are the ones you can continue to earn from.
