# Embracing failures While doing a discussion with another team in the incident response field, they asked us what is working great in our team and what is a success. But we cannot easily find the great magical things which work for us as a team. We did list to them a large number of failures or even embarrassing stories that didn't work out for us. Out of this discussion, we can safely said that the most successful approach is to **embrace failures**. We didn't want to theorize everything we do. But this embracing failures seem to be in-line like the [fail-fast](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fail-fast) system design or even the various startups *fail better* strategies. > All of old. Nothing else ever. Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better. > > -- Samuel Beckett ## References * [A fun and fabulous take on the art of making mistakes.
