Failure is the greatest teacher

I thought Monday's class was very interesting because it looked at how creativity is derived. And most of it is not just an innate vision but rather it is a constant process of always looking for better. One of the things that stood out to me in the video is that he looked at one of his "failures" but didn't just give up, rather he kept trying and eventually got one of his favorite pictures. The reason this sticks out to me is because I am a firm believer in failure as being the best teacher. At first it is tough to wrap your mind around how doing something wrong can end up being the best thing for a person but it is. At least to me when I make a mistake or fail I remember that failure and tell myself that I am not going to repeat it again. Overall I just thought it was interesting how he connected ideas of perseverance and hard work into creativity because to me before watching the video those were two different things.
