I woke up to the chilly breeze of the dawn. Winters have finally arrived. Moreover, I was excited for my conversation with the author of the month, the one who inspired people, made them speak of their failures and in turn, learn from it, Elizabeth Day. We all face failures. The point is what we learn from them. Elizabeth started a podcast 'How to Fail' in July 2018 out of passion. The idea she brought in was to talk about her own failures and what she learned from them. She has taught the people who have failed that they are not alone. The biggest of the personalities we see out there, also failed at some point in their lives.
In Failosophy, Elizabeth Day brings together all the lessons she has learned, from conversations with the guests on her awardwinning How to Fail podcast, from stories shared with her by readers and listeners, and from her own life, and distills them into seven principles of failure. Practical, reassuring, and inspirational, these principles offer a guide through life’s rough patches.
Getting ready for the call with the author herself, I poured myself the only thing I need in the morning - Black Coffee, I prefer it strong! The clock struck 12:30 as I completed my daily morning chores after waking up from my deep slumber. The Zoom call was about to begin. I was getting Goosebumps as the topic of our discussion was a failure. An avalanche of thoughts flooded my mind, reminding me of the smallest of the things when I failed! I struggled to switch my mind from the thought of failure to the small things I have succeeded in. As I was waiting for the Zoom session to begin, a blink on the screen and a beautiful face popped up!
