A Brief History of Failure
by Richard Fenton & Andrea Waltz

When we heard this story we knew we had to share it. This is a brief history of failure. Not the 'universe' of failure... just one person's history. But it illustrates the nature of failure, how it works on our psyche, and how by allowing it and not avoiding it, successes are often right around the corner.

"The very first company I started failed with a great bang.

The second one failed a little bit less, but still failed.

The third one, you know, proper failed, but it was kind of okay. I recovered quickly.

Number four almost didn't fail. It still didn't really feel great, but it did okay.

Number five was PayPal."

- Max Levchin, former CTO of PayPal
