An Open Lecture: The Art of Failure

Annotation: We know very well that to err is human, but our world is ruled by success stories. We admire the rich, the beautiful and the perfect, and we usually want to be perceived that way too. We want to avoid failure and disappointment, so we prefer not to take risks and stay grounded.

Nevertheless, mistakes and failures accompany each of us and if we grasp them correctly, they can allow us to learn and prepare us for future victories. Therefore, we should know how to live with, work with, and benefit from our mistakes. And strengthening the ability to accept our own mistakes, fight with them and gain some profit from them is the goal of this lecture.
