John C. Maxwell coined the phrase 'fail forward' and he said that: "Fail early, fail often, but always fail forward."

Life is uncertain, bleak and dark, sometimes, efforts to succeed could go down the drain. For majority of people, life is not easy and we are faced with many challenges and failures.

Failure is lack of success, however, the truth is that failure is part of success stories and it is not an enemy of success.

Failure is a teacher in the school of life, it makes our story compelling and it can give people hope.

Fail forward means to deliberately use failure to find success. It also means to learn from our setbacks and make necessary adjustments so as to be successful.

Failing forward does not in any way mean that we should keep on failing a task but learning from every failure and restrategising new approach because it is obvious that we can't get different result using the same approach.

To fail forward, we must step out of our comfort zones and take calculated risks, we know that every risk come with failure even if we don't know where the path will lead us to.

Someone who fails is more honourable and useful than someone who does nothing.

Thomas Edison failed forward until his dream of a light bulb for humanity came to reality.

Life is pretty much imperfect, the choice to fail forward or not is ours. You have no idea of the opportunity you are denying yourself if you don't fail forward.

Fail forward by admitting and accepting that life continues. Admitting and accepting help us to make progress and to think of the way out. Bounce back at your setbacks and you will surely emerged stronger.

Finally, failure is better not bitter in our quests for success. Keep failing forward!!!

The world is full of needs, Let contribute our quota to the world by meeting a need in the world. Let build on inventions and discoveries made by past generations and make even more better versions.

Locating and meeting  needs may be challenging but please fuel your desire to meet a need and make it a burning desire so as to make this world a better place.
