I love this “framing” from the movie Batman Believes. Batman is talking to his builder and butler, Alfred, and lamenting that he has failed in his attempt to live up to his fathers standard. Alfred’s response is freakin’ magic. Do NOT miss this. Leaders, you could really use this perspective with your teams.
Here’s what Alfred tells Batman. He tells Batman that he needs to reframe his perspective on failure. Alfred’s big “why” on failure…
“So we can learn how to pick ourselves up.”
Yea, BABY.
Next time you fall on your face trying to do something for the first time or even for the thirty third, reframe and remember that we all get bruised on this journey we call life. Get up, LOOK up, and never, freakin’ NEVER give up.
Remember, experience is NOT the greatest teacher. Nope, it’s not. Experience is only the greatest teacher if YOU…
Learn from it.
Thanks for the reminder, Alfred.
BUILT TO LEAD 
If we fail to learn from failure, we learn to fail from success.
If we could think different, “risk” would become “experiment” and results would be observed and studied, regardless of whether our hypotheses came about or not.
Instead, we make believe our hypotheses are the future, and when they “fail” to come about we run and hide from their result…
…learning nothing. “No thing.”
Then we blindly rinse and repeat, and repeat, and repeat.
