A Joosr Guide to… How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big by Scott Adams

Rather than attempting to reach unfeasible goals, adopt a system-based approach: establish a simple long-term plan that will ultimately serve to improve your position. Applying this system in your daily life will energize you and improve your general attitude toward your potential.
Learn to view any failure not as an end result, but as an instrument for learning and adding to your skills base. This posits failure as a necessary part of your system for improving your likelihood of finding success in the long run, because you are gaining knowledge and building a wide range of experiences you can draw on.
Don’t mistakenly believe that passion in one thing guarantees future success. Focus on trying out different things until you find something that works well, and let your passion grow from there.
Don’t obsess about becoming an expert in one area—instead, acquire a wide range of skills. You will be able to access a greater number of opportunities and ultimately raise your odds of finding success.

The feeling of progression in one area is beneficial in itself, and it will make you feel better all round

One way to boost your personal energy is to establish one activity you can do in your life that you will improve upon simply by practicing

knowing that you are capable of achieving is incredibly motivating

The more opportunities available, the better your chances for realizing what works for you

Acquiring various abilities works as a system for orientating yourself to a better position, so that when an opportunity comes along, you’re ready to take it

Passion will almost surely come with success, but not necessarily the other way around
