Fall Forward

In this week's Moving Forward Monday we share Denzel Washington's 2011 Commencement Speech for University of Pennsylvania where he inspires us to “Fall Forward." because "Every failed experiment is one step closer to success.” "This is what I mean: Reggie Jackson struck out 2,600 times in his career. The most in the history of baseball. But you don't hear about the strikeouts. People remember the home runs. Fall Forward. Thomas Edison conducted 1,000 failed experiments. Did you know that? I didn't know that because the 1,001st was the light bulb. Fall Forward."

We invite you to watch, laugh and learn with us through Denzel's insightful commentary.

So this week, we take a minute to think about what we do when we encounter a failure. Yes, we feel hurt. Sad. Sometimes even mad. And sometimes, in the dark times, we feel doubtful, scared to try again. But mostly we feel alone. So in these times when we're not sure we have the strength to move on, when it takes everything we have to pick ourselves up, we should listen to Denzel and just Fall Forward. Because Success could be as close as the very next step.
