Attitudes and success can't change overnight (I wrote a bit about this in my epiphany entry recently). Failures do contribute to success. In truth there aren't really success or failures, just experiences. What matters is how the contribute to you as a person. Great comments, Henrik and Andrea.

Also important to remember as in #7: sometimes breakthroughs take time and we do give up too soon. Example: if you had to hit a rock 150 times to crack it open, was it the final 150th time that did or did each swing contribute to your ultimate victory? Often that's what those small "failures" are along the road to success. All 7 questions you posed extremely insightful.

Personally, I have found number 4 to be pretty key. The attitude you go about things with can change the way you see your world. But it took a while for me to realise that you have to work at it for more than a weekend =) Excellent check-list, Scott. Personally, I have found number 4 to be pretty key.

Aren't you ready to admit you can't make an electric light bulb?" Edison replied, "I have not had 999 failures. I've discovered 999 ways NOT to make an electric light bulb." Of course, Edison went back to the lab and persisted until......well, we know the rest of the story. Reframe your failures and keep moving forward and, of course, don't give up!
