Sivers leaves you with the following insights.

IF YOU'RE NOT FAILING  YOU'RE NOT GROWING
To learn effectively you must make mistakes.  Mistakes make better preparation than practicing doing what you know is fun, but don't improve you.

FAILURE KEEPS YOU IN A GROWTH MINDSET VERSUS A FIXED MINDSET
Fixed mindset implies that talent is innate and that you either have it or you don't.  A growth mindset is that talent is derived from work, thus anyone can master a talent.

FAILURE REMINDS YOU THAT EVERYTHING IS AN EXPERIMENT
Trying things you would never try gives you new perspective.  Everything we do is just an option.  It is an experiment of different ways to do things until we find the way we want to pursue.  There is no such thing as failure when everything is an experiment.

IF YOU'RE NOT FAILING YOU'RE NOT TRYING HARD ENOUGH!
