I Love Failure

It is essential, day by day,
to remain responsible
for our actions and decisions,
​accepting our faults
​without assigning blame


STAY REAL

When I began working on my blog, “I Love Failure”, my writing skills were as proficient as a five year old. Today after 2 years of dedication, I believe that I have improved … to the level of an 11 year old.
So, here is the question: How did I manage to get so many people to follow my writings as a Latino that speaks a funky English and has difficulty writing and frequently sounds confused?

Easy… People relate to people they can connect with.
Your friends and the individuals that you enjoy talking and listening to, frequently are the ones that you feel close to.
If I had presented myself as a dapper, eloquent, handsome guy; a  flawless man, a “James Bond” type of guy, my readership would be diminutive. 
Why? Because the majority would not be able to relate to me, I would be seen as a star that is too far to reach.

- I use writing as a tool to communicate my thoughts to others. When I have a useful message or idea to share and is presented in a simple manner, people listen.
However, if I try to convey the same message using a fancy vocabulary, trying to sound illustrious,  I will lose them. They would see right through the facade. 

Here is the lesson:
If you want people to listen to you, share your thoughts and expertise in a simple, clear & straightforward way.
Create a connection when sharing your thoughts and do not get complicated.
Stay real!

Hola Mauricio!

Yes, your writing has improved...and so has your English! Now if I could just get my Spanish to improve as quickly!

I always look forward to your posts and appreciate the effort and dedication it takes to maintain your website.

Keep it up! You provide a lot of wisdom and food for thought.

    Who I am today as a person is largely due to my failures!
    Failures are the speed bumps in life that matter!  They are not regrets but small disappointments that wake up the strength within us! Failures are the process of learning and improving!  Without failures we simply are at a status quo!  

    "success is built on many failures..."
