The Importance of Failure: Tyler Price at TEDxAmmon

Tyler Price is good at failure. He had his fair share of it before finding success, but he regrets none of it, saying that it helped him become who he is.

Too many people look negatively on failing and are held back on working towards their dreams because of the fear of failing. Failure requires us to become the right person who will ultimately be needed to achieve success. Parents try to prevent their children from failure and work hard to make sure they don't. The end result is a sense of entitlement towards success and no real understanding of the effort and hardships that may be required. Failure, in short, is important.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
