Not every idea hits the mark, but failed ideas often lead to the most unexpected breakthroughs. History is full of examples, think of sticky notes, which came from a glue that didn’t stick as intended. Mistakes force us to rethink, adjust, and try again with new insight. Failure isn’t the opposite of success. It’s often part of the path to it.

So don’t discard those rough drafts or half-baked plans just yet. For more inspiration on turning stumbles into stepping stones, explore stories and advice from curious minds at World-Wide Q&A.
