Stop Romanticizing the Idea of Failure

I see some PMs romanticize the idea of "failure".
‍

They profess allegiance to the "Fail-fast" mantra and flaunt it like a hip tattoo, without really understanding its true spirit.

Failure should never be hailed as an admirable goal.

Rather, the objective should always be to learn as quickly as possible and course-correct if needed.

And in that effort to move fast, if failure is encountered, then one should not take it to heart and continue to push forward.

The real idea is to become numb to the disappointment of failure in the pursuit of a greater goal.

Failure without any learning, however, is quite a pointless endeavor.

I prefer replacing "fail fast" with "sail fast".

If you break something, mend it and sail in another direction.
