It was pretty early on that I learned in school that I was totally uncreative.

I'm going to flip the idea of failure totally on it's head.

Just because I'm not traditionally creative doesn't mean I can't create.

We need to completely unlearn everything that school taught us about failure.

School has the tendency to teach us to be consumers of knowledge.

Negative reactions to failure prevent us from harnessing that productive potential that sits in our failure.

Don't just be a knowledge consumer. Be a knowledge producer.

It takes a certain kind of person to actively seek out criticism. But those are the leaders and people that organizations need the most.
