Motivational speakers ask people to focus on success to win. Scott Adams advises the opposite. He suggests people to fail often to win in the end.
Scott Adams is creator of successful comics Dilbert. He wrote a book- How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big. He advises people to not worry about failures, and instead focus on the processes and skills.
He writes, “The most important form of selfishness involves spending time on your fitness, eating right, pursuing your career, and still spending quality time with your family and friends. If you neglect your health or your career, you slip into the second category — stupid — which is a short slide to becoming a burden on society.”
He offers a list of things to learn to increase the odds of success. It is by systematically becoming good, but not amazing, at the types of skills that work well together and are highly useful for just about any job.
