I read about this “CV of failures” sometime ago. Today, as I was using my computer, I chanced upon the link which I have saved earlier and decided to reread his CV of failures as well as Melanie Stefan’s article in the journal Nature about this idea.
I admire Dr Johannes Haushofer for being open-minded and courageous enough to post his CV of failures for all to scrutinize. I believe Dr Haushofer’s purpose of posting his CV of failures is to give perspective to all that even those who appeared highly successful in their field has failed many times. Failure is inevitable sooner or later. He said it correctly that if someone else has a longer CV of failures, it’s likely that either he has a better memory or that he had tried more things.
I love this quote and would like to share with everyone out there.
Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. – Winston Churchill
