This quote may sound like a crazy person talking; I mean, how can one succeed by tripling the rate of one’s failure? What “The secret of success is to triple your rate of failure” actually means is that, it is only through failing at something that we really learn. You will surely know that, one hardly ever succeeds at something one tries to do for the first time, or maybe even for the second or third time. This is also linked to the saying “if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.” There is no shame in failure, especially if you use that failure to gain valuable insight on how to do something better the next time.
