in Norway we have compulsory military
service so when I was 19 I knew that I
had to spend 12 months of my life in the
military until nineteen twelve months
that’s a long time so I figured I had
two choices I could either go the easy
way just get finished with those twelve
months and move on with my life or I
could get the most out of it
and the choice was obvious I have to get
the most out of it but what were my
possibilities as a 19 year old in the
military but I researched and after
I found this a combat boat it’s called a
comic book
it comes 45 knots it goes in shallow
waters it goes behind enemy lines and it
lyrics and a stem and then I found out
the line could actually work on that
ship and so I applied laughs the only
one 200 others abide and all those 200
only 60 we can accept it for boot camp
and if you post boot camp we were only
10 that passed boot camp and then if you
were one of those ten if you finish one
year of officer training then you could
go to an album so the odds they were
small after a few days of initial
testing I was accepted for boot camp and
boot camp but we can both offer I pay
everything I did from day one I couldn’t
even do the easiest tasks that can be
best one day we were lined up outside
all 30 recruits in my group when we were
given pretty easy toast the officer
shouted recruits changed uniform and
we’re on when I ran with my designated
birthday by my side
we always had a budget to help each
other out
I changed uniform
I was a bit quicker than my brother a
story was doing okay and I ran back out
and I lined up pretty happy with myself
I wasn’t first but at least I was in the
last one and then an officer approached
me and he said recruits race your body
and I said I think it’s right around the
corner and then he said who recruit did
you leave your burden I have said oh you
have to relieve your burden and all the
guys around us I think they also felt
awful and you think I ever left my body
again and you say the any of the other
guys laughter Gordon the next day we
were setting up camp
my task was to put up a tent so a few
dark my rifle I put up the tent went
back to take off my rifle and it was
gone I’ve been away for five minutes and
they were gone
and so I searched desperately for it but
he will go so I went to an officer and
said I lost my rifle and he said
recruits did you put down your rifle and
again I said awful
you never put down your rifle but then
he did something that made me remember
that situation until today instead of
giving me back my rifle he gave me a
broom sticks
so wherever I want for the next 24 hours
I carry the stupid broomstick while all
the other guys have rifles do you think
I ever feel down or laughing again or
any of the other guys no that is all
about episode 2 camp was all about
I think but after a while I realized
something that to fail it’s not to do
something wrong because to say it’s to
learn what doesn’t work and that’s how
innovation and progress has been made
throughout history there are lots of
good examples of this my favorite is the
invention of the light bulb Thomas
Edison started off by making a light
bulb admony switched it on when guess
what
it failed so when you make another and
it failed and he made 10 more and they
failed he made a hundred more that fake
he made a thousand more and they still
failed and after failing for ten
thousand times he was asked how can you
continue when you fake ten thousand
times and his reply was I haven’t failed
ten thousand times but I found ten
and we try to fly for the first time the
Wright brothers they didn’t make the
perfect airplane on the first try
tell me they don’t play it to go again
what it Christ then that make some small
adjustments try it again
and it crashed and it continued like
this we take them one day got a hold of
mine but after every failure they did
small adjustments they did something
else so what should we do
but first we need to realize that we
need to change we need to change the way
we think and the way we act because
doing the same thing over and over again
you’ll never get a lot new result
there’s no innovation or progress in
doing that so we need to dare to change
and do something else do something
different than we used to do and that we
dare to change we risk to fail but there
are lots of good ways to fail you can
face safe when I taught my daughter to
ride a bicycle we need a solution
fail-safe we can helmet pretty safe bike
when she failed she tried again and
again and again until she managed to
ride a bike and in the military it’s all
about failing
we have exercises so when we fail we can
try again
[Music]
we have simulators so when you miss your
target you can try again and in business
there are also lots of methods to
failsafe my family right now is the
design sprint with a design sprint you
can fail incredibly fast fails that
usually take years to accomplish takes
days with a design sprint in a design
sprint you start off with a problem then
you make a prototype of your service or
product and then you test it on
customers and then you get proper
feedback from your customers all related
days with innocently company I work from
recently I guess what we failed but we
fail in five days in some suit something
that usually take years so we could just
try again and make something much better
because now we knew what our customers
didn’t like and another thing we can do
is to share our failures because we can
learn from others in the military I left
my body but no one of the ants have
enough time for them they saw my face
when the officer Sheldon and normal s
was so lucky that they carried a
broomstick I did that for them and after
I lost the side sprint immediately the
week after we melted the whole company
and told them I will fail so that
everyone to take part in that face
anyone
division in my company whenever someone
makes a mistake and our complaint lose a
lot of money
well that individual is put on stage
another test is whole duration what is
it Howie faith and how much money
our company lost and then the audience
applauds him so that they don’t have to
do that same mistakes after six weeks in
boot camp I was accepted for officer
training I was one of those 10 so that
started 12 months of officer training
I guess what I felt from day one and I
kept on fairly for 12 months but the
first woman defining moment we had one
month left of officer training I was in
the Naval Academy’s navigational
cylinder I was in command of the bridge
I had my crew and we were saying I was
just about to finish my part I’m pretty
well know for is this
when the officer in charge came over and
they said student you’ve done well I
have a challenge for you let’s increase
speed from your 12 knots to 60 knots and
let’s save your plan and you do the next
student plan go ahead and so I started
after a few seconds my shaman Westerley
in port five distance five nautical
miles so there’s a ship coming towards
us and I baited a situation many times
and I failed everyone the first time a
changed course to port and I crashed
because you never go port at sea you
always post on so the next time I went
starboard but not enough so I crashed
and the next time after that far off
starboard Austin wheeler and then bang I
didn’t island this time change course to
starboard just enough time so I went
well clear with the shape and width so
mathematical rules out sided to
Catherine Oh to beget back and then back
I was back on course
and that feeling of accomplishment that
I had after that experience well that
did something to me I wanted to
experience that again so my dream of
working on a boat but it changed I did
want to work on the boat anymore I
wanted to come on that’s it
I wanted to become a commanding officer
with the ship or mine so I set myself a
crazy goal of becoming a commanding
officer next month I graduated from
training to become a commanding officer
so the next 18 months I train and get
what I failed and I failed and I failed
but every time I made small adjustments
because I knew what didn’t work and then
tiny thing I had success after those any
team owns a little mountain
I got boomerang I had a crew alone
and we say run Norway and Monroe but I
didn’t have success because I’m perfect
I have success because I’m redefine the
definition of success because we sense
well it’s not about being perfect and
that’s what I learned through my journey
because of what I learned was that same
but it’s not to do something wrong is to
learn what doesn’t work and then I learn
and we can play it safe and that we
should share our face because success
want us to fail learn and improve so go
out and fail because failure that’s the key
service so when I was 19 I knew that I
had to spend 12 months of my life in the
military until nineteen twelve months
that’s a long time so I figured I had
