It will be interesting to see if people can get to the point where failing becomes an accepted part of growth. Nice post! It seems like journalists have gotten to the point where they fear failure.

Thus those who want to innovate must accept this outcome: many failures for each success.

For most people innovation is simply solving a problem or responding to feedback. Its not about following a step by step process with guaranteed results at the end.
