Success is often the result of taking a misstep in the right direction.

To understand why dictators fall, it helps to recognise factors that produce a perfect anti-dictatorial storm. Barring missteps such as those that led to Gaddafi's undoing, a dictator's survival can be at risk because of newness in office, poor health, or old age combined with economic trouble.

If you invest the time earlier to create structure and process around communication, planning, and goal-setting, you can prevent missteps before they occur.

We must always demonstrate maturity in facing the consequences of our missteps, no matter how extreme.

An active orchestrator of life acknowledges missteps, but is nimble in pivoting in the direction of improvement.

We must permit ourselves to accept missteps with advancements and defeat with victory.

Success is often the result of taking a misstep in the right direction.

Who knows better than artists how much ugliness there is on the way to beauty how many ghastly mortifying missteps how many days of granitic blockheadedness and dismaying ineptitude there is on the way to accomplishment how partial all accomplishment is how incomplete?
