What happens when you take a risk?
If you succeed, people will sing folklore about you on LinkedIn. And if you get really lucky, Harvard will write a case study, which MBA students will interpret in all kinds of funny ways.
But if you fail, you will bear the pain all alone — privately, and discreetly.
Pain is private while success is public. That is why we see so many success stories.
Unfortunately, massive success doesn’t come without the risk of failure. Nor does glory come without the possibility of pain. When you reach out for one, you automatically risk the other.
This is the way of the world.
So don’t beat yourself up for trying and failing. If you tried hard, you are already worthy of credit.
Rest is a draw of luck.
