“Dream big and dare to fail.”— Norman Vaughan
What it means
Meaningful goals carry a real possibility of failure. Ambition becomes productive when we accept that risk and use it to stretch beyond safe, predictable outcomes.
Context
Vaughan’s adventurous spirit encouraged bold risk-taking.
Reflect
What larger goal would you pursue if failure were treated as experience rather than embarrassment?
Today’s action
Write down one bold goal and one low-risk experiment that moves toward it.
