Honda has created a series of short documentary films that celebrate the companies beliefs and values. I think they are pretty clever. This one is awesome, its called Failure: The Secret to Success.

“Failure: The Secret to Success” depicts Honda’s belief in the importance of never being afraid to try something new. Through personal experiences of Honda associates and those affiliated with Honda, such as IndyCar driver Danica Patrick, the film explores failures and risks taken that helped lead to new innovations.

I dig it mostly because even though its put out by a particular company, it really gives you something that you can apply to anything. A lot of these words we have heard many times, but it doesn’t hurt to hear ‘em again. See “Kick Out the Ladder” after the jump, another pretty good one.

“Kick Out the Ladder” explores the Honda idea of being led up to the roof and kicking out the ladder as a metaphor for being challenged to achieve seemingly impossible goals with stories and anecdotes from Honda associates. The philosophy is used as an “impossible engineering” platform focusing on the story of the new Insight, safety, innovation and U.S. manufacturing with footage of Honda’s newest auto manufacturing plant in Greensburg, Ind.
