This is an excellent piece of work! The concept of learning not from failure but from success, reminds me of a statement made by a man for whom I have the highest respect, Dr. David Oyedepo. “Experience is not the best teacher” he said, “what if you don’t survive the experience?” This was clearly the case for a good portion of the titanic’s crew. I’m certain that given another opportunity, Captain Smith would never again have lost a ship to icebergs, but he wasn’t afforded that luxury. This post piqued my interest and left me with many questions! I hope to see them all answered!
This is an excellent piece. I agree the zero-failure mindset is really important for the reasons you have mentioned. I also agree also with Ayomide's point (in the comments section) about the inevitability of mistakes happening - so faith is such a must-have. A zero-failure mindset needs to come with a post-failure recovery strategy. People who have a zero-failure mindset can sometimes find it hard to recover from failure especially if the incident is devastating. Faith again comes to the fore as the foundational stone for the zero-failure mindset. So faith is the parent process with zero-failure + post-failure recovery as the child-processes
Wow...This is a fantastic piece of writing. But what about the concept of Faith in all of this? That is you affirming God's presence and approval in a journey even though not all precautions are taken into place?
Moreover, even with a zero-failure Mindset, casualties may still be inevitable, especially with a proud mindset. The Just I believe should live by Faith and not just a "Zero-Failure mindset."
Please note that I am by no means trying to discredit the inspiration that produces this amazing writing, but to also a more better way of viewing and understanding it. Thank you.
Excellent piece sir.
Great job sir.

True, like I said earlier, I was stunned by their arrogance
"unsinkable" they said
And I started wondering how many of such arrogance is displayed today?
...mostly at the cost of human lives
This will be an interesting converse

You are taking out of my playbook!
Watch the story unfolds

Ayomide,
Thank you for engaging — it show you read the whole thing 😁
Your observation is actually is the point of the post —
Why engage with the pride of success in the face of inevitable failure?
The Post-fall Man was Failure-prone —
Like the story of the titanic — its the impunity and recklessness for me.
"unsinkable"? but it sank.
So I'm making a case for Faith actually —
the humility of dependence,
the caution the says I shouldn't approach this casually but cautiously
— depending on the Factor that never fails.
Please stay tuned as the story unfolds in subsequent parts —
and my friend and brother @Sanfo Agyo also captures it quite well in his comments.
I’m looking forward to this series!!
Wow
Very beautiful piece Sir.
Yay!.. Billon is back!!
