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 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
