Great videos on "failing" from my friends at Stanford

By Jon Gillespie-Brown | August 10, 2008

Stanford have an amazing program every year for their students called e-week (entrepreneur) and have created some excellent resources.

One of these is a range of great videos you can find on their web site for their Imagine It Project.

Some incredibly successful people have the ability to talk usefully about failure.

See what they say about it in these videos:

Kim

Tina

Jeff

Steve

Guy

I love Guy Kawasaki’s definition of failing that’s OK – to fail at something spectacular is OK!
