Failing Forward
The acceptance of failure as a stepping stone to future success, "Failing Forward" means you have chosen to respect each failure for the lessons it teaches you, and to apply those lessons to future efforts, even if those efforts also fail.
Why Sun Tzu?
Sun Tzu was a Chinese military general, strategist, philosopher, and writer who lived during the Eastern Zhou period (771–256 BC).
His “The Art of War” offers a philosophy of war for managing conflicts and winning battles, is accepted as a masterpiece on strategy, and has been frequently cited by generals and theorists since first published.
The strategies within "The Art of War" are applicable to business, leadership, and transportation.
