Dave Letterman’s advice to Jerry Seinfeld: “Make sure you fail doing exactly what you want to do. That, you can live with.“

Thanks to @jeremygiffon for sending this to me

This from Jim Carey is excellent too and carries the same message You can still fail doing what you don’t want to do, so you might as well go for what you want

Love that advice. If you're going to fail, make sure it's doing what you want. Fail at your self-directed goals. Don't fail at goals that others prescribe for you.

anything worth doing is worth failing at

Great piece of advice and makes me think about how that relates to the tug and pull of leadership. Making something yours, but also knowing you can't do it alone.

@paulg Remember: it’s okay to fail at something you love. It’s all part of the journey towards mastering it. Embrace the process and keep pushing forward!

Yup, that "what if" hurts more if you hadn't tried

Wow - just woke up to this. It's profoundly wise.

@michelletandler Is this from @nealbrennan Blocks podcast?

Expect failure but do everything you can to avoid it.
