I fail on almost a daily basis

I fail.

And I fail on almost a daily basis.

But at least I know I am trying to be a better person, what are you doing?

—David Snyder

Failure is brutally important to your future. If you spend all your time afraid of it, you’ll never move forward.

I hope lots of people will read and follow David’s 10 Rules for Not Being a Complete Douche Bag. (OK, the title is rude, but the post is excellent.)

Hat tip to Chris Brogan for pointing this one out on Twitter.
