First, perfection is a subject matter then to talk about perfection that must be taking into account. Second, is not about to fail, is about to learn. Failing without learning has no sense at all.

Sergio, you are right that failure should lead to learning. Encouraging people to act and taking the initiative by accepting failure should be another principle

I believe that failing and making mistakes is one of the way, probably the best, to learn and improve. Faster you get over your errors and learn from them, better will be for your career.
This approach is the basis of the scientific method and is a core tenet of Eric Ries's Lean Startup model.
The key is to fail fast and cheap and learn from the failures. Failing big or failing at the same things repeatedly is not a sign of maturity or success.
This does however require a failure tolerant organization culture which is still, unfortunately, rare in many organizations.

Failure is an inevitable part of learning and growth. However, failure shouldn’t be used to excuse incompetence. If failure isn’t accompanied by a serious analysis of what went wrong and why, it will probably happen again.

You are right. As Kiron mentioned it's about "fail fast and cheap and learn from the failures". Thanks for your comment

I'm a big fan of continuous improvement. We must make decisions faster. This is a personal character flaw I'm constantly working on! I'm much more comfortable having all the facts before moving out. And even then, I entertain many internal debates! But that's not my ideal. My ideal is taking imperfect action based on the best information I have right now. I love organizations that take a learning position and embrace that we learn and grow by trying and yes, failing.

"Nearly every great advance in science arises from a crisis in the old theory, through an endeavor to find a way out of the difficulties created. We must examine old ideas, old theories, although they belong to the past, for this is the only way to understand the importance of the new ones and the extent of their validity."
