Failure Resume 📰

They say you learn more from your failures than your successes. I see my failure résumé as a list of times where I didn't reach where I thought I could have or made choices I shouldn't have made. Rather than being disappointed (though maybe a little at the time), I'm proud to be a failure!

This wasn't my idea! Here are a few resources that inspired me, NYT, HBR, Melanie Stefan, and many people who've since published their failure resumes online!
