Failure, success and neither

"The math is magical: you can pile up lots of failures and still keep rolling, but you only need one juicy success to build a career.

The killer is the category called 'neither'. If you spend your days avoiding failure by doing not much worth criticizing, you'll never have a shot at success. Avoiding the thing that's easy to survive keeps you from encountering the very thing you're after.

And yet we market and work and connect and create as if just one failure might be the end of us."

- Seth Godin

Apparently Godin has the most popular marketing blog in the world (per his website)
In general I just like his angle on most things, his post today was particularly motivating since my current projects are way outside my pay grade and failure seems probable.
