The F Word
by Richard Fenton & Andrea Waltz

The stigma of the F word - Failure - is all around us.  Several years ago the "loser" trend began - holding your thumb and index finger into an L onto your forehead, calling out, "Loser!" Now it's FAIL. Go on twitter and search for #fail; you'll find thousands of recent tweets relating to personal failures and everyone else's too.

It sure seems like you better not get caught failing at anything these days. The ridicule, being ostracized from friends and family, feelings of being unworthy...  
Yet the question is: who are you living your life for?  For you? Or for other people?  Are you living just to please others? To avoid being labeled a "failure" or a "loser"?
  
When we got together as a couple back in 1998 - we caused a major scandal at the company we worked for. Then we both quit our jobs at that company to start a business together. Everyone thought we were crazy. And we knew we could fail.    

It's 14 years later and we have had some great failures and successes along the way. But we're still together, in business, and still totally in love with each other and our choices. Looking back it seems like a miracle that we are where we are.

With all that we lacked (and it was substantial!) we truly made it up in the willingness to fail.   That is the one trait that has never left us.
Ultimately... no one will remember your failures, only your successes.

NOtable Quotables from the Go for No! Movie

"You have to accept the fact that the word 'No' is part of life. We will not always hear 'yes' to everything that we seek and desire. When we hear a 'No' it really becomes a test as to how bad we want something." - Jeff Blackman
