Fail Academy

November 18th, 2014 - by Alyssa Shea

Many of us forget that in order to achieve our goals, you have to be willing to fail. One magazine named Fail Academy knows a thing or two about using failure on your path to success.

With a name like that, it’s not surprising that the company turns heads, mostly out of confusion. People aren’t used to seeing the word “Failure” in big letters that is attached something good. But that is exactly their point: to learn something from failing.

They have made it their goal to educate everyone on how to appreciate failing. Discussing denial to the pitfalls of being a perfectionist, this magazine has discovered what is really behind failing. But they don’t just point out these issues and walk away. They provide an action plan on how to overcome these obstacles.
