I recently experienced this, coaching a team of girls in a robotics competition: they wanted to win the director's award (the highest award) yet their past robot came in 39 out of 44. Well, they did it. I doubt they would have scored so well, if they had set a more "achievable" goal. You can read about their amazing story at: http://www.ericmackonline.com/ica/blogs/emonline.nsf/dx/jr-robotics-directors-award or on the girls own blog: http://www.icarobotics.com/lego Thanks for the blog.

I only disagree when you use the word ‘failure’. >An optimal strategy for investing in your life will include failure. There is no such a thing in life. Failure means fault. Fault means personal lose. You've already said that we enjoying lessons, not failures though. And failure only a learning way to success. Yea, that’s sounds really inspiring!

I'm pretty sure I've read all of the articles you've written here and at dexterity and I've read most of these blog pieces. I think you are an insipiration to us all. I look forward to the book.
