If Life Was Predictable, It Would Be Boring
Written by Al at 7P
Life = Risk.
That’s OK. It’s a good thing.
You gotta take that risk believing you will succeed, even though you know the truth that you might not. If success was guaranteed, where’s the fun in that?
I recently wrote about how failure is better than inaction, and I also mentioned how defeat can be a set-up for more important victories in the future. I don’t want to beat this theme to death, but I recently came across a video that was related to this topic that really moved me.
Here is the video I’m talking about. Hope you enjoy it like I did.

Oh my…love that video!!! It has such an important message: Don’t Give Up till You Succeed!! There’s no failure but feedback!
Thanks for sharing! It’s my first visit here but I must say that you’ve got an awesome site! I’ve just subscribed to receiving your posts!

Hi Evelyn - thank you for the feedback
. I normally don’t post videos, so you made me feel like I did do the right thing to share one that was enjoyable.
You just made my day… thank you for your very generous comment, and thanks for subscribing!
I felt an upsurge of confidence and courage as I watched the video. It showed me how important it is to keep on keeping on.
Thank you for sharing this video with us, Al!
I love that video! A lot of people think that it’s only interesting to hear about successes. I like hearing about failures that led to successes!
@ Mary - “Keep on keeping on.” Very catchy!
@ Hunter - Glad you liked it
. Indeed, a success story is incomplete without sharing any of failures that led to it.
That vid is a great find Al. Michael Jordan being cut from his bball team was legendary stuff when I was growing up (I played a lot of bball). Some of those other failures are news to me, though. Just goes to show what the vid said: life = risk.
Hi Peter - agreed about Jordan’s story being well known. I can hear it 1,000 times and still get inspired.
I’m glad you liked it. Thanks for the feedback, and congrats on being a dad again

Hi Al,
Your title says it all, and the video is like the icing on the cake.
Life is about taking risks, and if we don’t take risks, we’ll never accomplish anything. Thanks for the great reminder.
Thanks Barbara. The title is something I sometimes need to tell myself as a reminder!
Thanks Al. I can’t believe the little fella is almost a week old!
Peter, I don’t know how you do it. Working, blogging, and now a dad again. The hardest working man in the blogosphere!
18 years from now, your little one can do a Google search (or whatever new search engine they use in the future) to look up baby pictures on your blog. Isn’t technology awesome?
Hi Al - love the video. My partner and I have just watched it 3 times!
Hi Robin - glad you and your partner enjoyed it! I really enjoyed the video but wasn’t sure if I would post it, since I normally just write articles. The fact that you watched it that many times makes me glad I went ahead and posted it.
