Most people try to avoid failure. But failure is one of life’s great forces; it’s driven far more innovation than talent, creativity, or necessity. The failures we face, large and small, make us who we are and give us the opportunity to make ourselves better.

Here are a few thoughts on how to fail from Lifehack.org:

• Fail with grace: Take responsibility for the mess you’ve made, and for cleaning it up.
• Have a Plan B: Embracing failure means accepting the risks you’re taking and preparing for the worst.
• Get perspective: Tell an outsider your story, and ask what they would have done differently.
• Do something: Don’t just give up.
