The Creator of Dilbert Admits He Has Failed Plenty
Scott Adams, who is an author and creator of the famous comic strip, Dilbert, has a lot to say about failing. In fact, he also wrote a book on it!
The book, entitled “How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big,” echoes a lot of our own thoughts on failure. The writer speaks about his halted corporate career, numerous failed business ventures, and rejections he has faced as a cartoonist.
One interesting tip he provides is that being in a good physical condition will help you on your way to success.
“My view is it’s not passion you want; it’s energy. It doesn’t matter what you’re doing, you need more energy to do it better. It’s your competitive edge, and it’s available to all. That stuff will protect you against your failures, as well as give you energy to try more things.”
He also states that going through all the failures in his life helped him find success. Adams truly knows what it means when we say that failure can actually lead you to success!
Special thanks to reader James Ryan for this story idea!
