Rebounding from Failure to Success

Overcoming adversity...



One of Leonardo da Vinci's great successes:
The Mona Lisa, c. 1503,

Rebounding from Failure to Success
 
 

What's one of the key, common denominators for success after a failure?

History’s greatest figures overcame failure and achieved success in almost exactly the same way, Adam Westbrook reports at the outset of a fascinating two-part video series on creativity and achievement.

Westbrook illustrates his point with the example of Leonardo da Vinci, who overcame adversity to achieve fame as a genius of the Renaissance.

The missing chapter in the story of success reveals the secret to do meaningful work, Westbrook wrote. 

But rather than celebrating that part of the creative process we ignore it, he reports.

And in today's world, full of distraction, do we have what it takes to do great things, he wonders.

Take a few minutes and watch Westbrook's story about how da Vinci and others overcame failure and applied the long game of experience that led to their eventual success: http://twistedsifter.com/videos/the-importance-of-failure/
