Core Concept #1

“You have to learn to fail to win” is the Sandler’s first rule. In his chapter he explains to us that we must first fail and choose to learn from our mistakes. We can’t learn anything if you don’t fail first. Dealing with failure intellectually and emotionally are two very different things. Failure forces us to come up with new ideas and thinking outside the box. We can’t take rejection as a personal failure. There is a very big difference between the REAL you and the ROLE you. The real you is made up from your identity. The role you has to do with your performance. Role failure does not in any way reflect the real you.
