"I wish I could say I coined..." - Quote by John C Maxwell
I wish I could say I coined the phrase "failing forward." I do it all the time. I find as I've embraced this approach to business, life, cycling and generally any new endeavor I take on, I've grown more and more comfortable with the possibility that I am not likely to succeed on my first try. And that's ok.

“In the end, people are persuaded not by what we say, but by what they understand.”
“I would rather be viewed by the reader as I'm just taking a journey with you, and here's what I'm learning, what are you learning? Oh, you do this better than me. Than to be viewed as kind of like an authority.”

“If you FAIL, never give up because F.A.I.L. means "First Attempt in Learning". END is not the end; in fact E.N.D. means "Effort Never Dies". If you get NO as an answer, remember N.O. means "Next Opportunity".”
“I have not failed 10,000 times. I have succeeded in proving that those 10,000 ways will not work.”
“The play was a great success, but audience was a dismal failure.”
More on Learning
“Those who fail to learn from the brutal stompings visited on them in the past are doomed to be brutally stomped in the future.”
“Cramming seeks to stamp things in by intense application immediately before the ordeal. But a thing thus learned can form but few associations.”
“Everything that occurs teaches and prepares you for the next stage of life. Nothing is lost.”
