On this episode of Firewall, Bill Whittle of TruthRevolt talks about failing our way to success.

This is a principle we have all heard of but Bill really brings this idea home in the context of the American dream, the Declaration of Independence, and the spirit of equality of opportunity rather than of outcomes.

The problem is, it’s getting harder to fail in America. The founders of Apple, Amazon, Google – all of them say they could never get started in America today due to regulations gumming up our God-given Right to Fail.
And worse then that, the self esteem movement means that kids don’t even get to keep score playing Little League baseball. If you can’t survive failure on a baseball diamond at 10, you’re not likely to give it a try with a business plan at 30. Are you?

It’s critically important that Americans understand this, and that conservatives pass on values to our kids that include not only tenacity and ambition, but the ability to fail, to pick up, and to move on.
As a very wise man once told me, the secret to success is to fail faster than everyone else around you. The more failures you have the closer you are to success.
