Failure
(page 3)
Your personal life, your professional life, and your creative life are all intertwined. I went through a few very difficult years where I felt like a failure. But it was actually really important for me to go through that. Struggle, for me, is the most inspirational thing in the world at the end of the day — as long as you treat it that way.
I don't take success and failure seriously. The only thing I do seriously is march forward. If I fall, I get up and march again.
I used to think that divorce meant failure, but now I see it more as a step along the path of self-realization and growth.
Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life.

We all learn lessons in life. Some stick, some don't. I have always learned more from rejection and failure than from acceptance and success.
A man who has never made a woman angry is a failure in life.
You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.
Remember your dreams and fight for them. You must know what you want from life. There is just one thing that makes your dream become impossible: the fear of failure.
Think like a queen. A queen is not afraid to fail. Failure is another steppingstone to greatness.
There can be no failure to a man who has not lost his courage, his character, his self respect, or his self-confidence. He is still a King.
Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.
Success and failure are both part of life. Both are not permanent.
Success is the result of perfection, hard work, learning from failure, loyalty, and persistence.
There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.
It's fine to celebrate success but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure.
Success is not a good teacher, failure makes you humble.
Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough.
