shared in fam GC from Scottie Pippen: Kobe is a 5x NBA Champion. He also holds the all-time record for missed shots. Serena Williams is a 23x Gram Slam Champion. She also holds the record for the most unforced errors in a single match. Novak Djokovic is a 24x Grand Slam Champion. He also holds the record for the most tennis final losses in history. These aren't contradictions, they are proof of what it takes to win at the highest levels. Winners don't succeed in spite of failure, they succeed because of failure. While others shield themselves from the sting of defeat, winners run towards it. They take big risks and put their reputation on the line, knowing that whatever happens, they'll come out a more competent opponent on the other side. To double your rate of success, you have to double your rate of failure. The more you learn about what doesn't work, the more you understand what does. Everything changes when you reframe losses like this. Failure isn't the enemy of success, it's the foundation.

Love this take. Building upon it with a non-sport example: here's Terence Tao reflecting on getting his latest paper rejected, and arguing that we're not acknowledging nor discussing failures enough https://mathstodon.xyz/@tao/113721192051328193

@timewarp
Fail enough to begin to understand your % effort and timing. Take enough failed shots and you start to notice what's worth risking. It becomes data driven instead of theoretical
