Failure
(page 3)
Success and failure are both part of life. Both are not permanent.
Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.
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.
Think like a queen. A queen is not afraid to fail. Failure is another steppingstone to greatness.
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.
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.
A man who has never made a woman angry is a failure 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.
My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure.
Failure is not our only punishment for laziness; there is also the success of others.
I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying.
Without failure there is no achievement.
Failure is central to engineering. Every single calculation that an engineer makes is a failure calculation. Successful engineering is all about understanding how things break or fail.
Failure comes only when we forget our ideals and objectives and principles.
Failure at some point in your life is inevitable, but giving up is unforgivable.
Honesty is about the scars. It's about the blemishes. But it's more than just bragging about failure, which could be a form of ego. It's about truly helping people.
Many of the familiar little things that we use every day have typically evolved over a period of time to a state of familiarity. They balance form and function, elegance and economy, success and failure in ways that are not only acceptable, but also admirable.
At the end of the day, you are solely responsible for your success and your failure. And the sooner you realize that, you accept that, and integrate that into your work ethic, you will start being successful. As long as you blame others for the reason you aren't where you want to be, you will always be a failure.
A person who doubts himself is like a man who would enlist in the ranks of his enemies and bear arms against himself. He makes his failure certain by himself being the first person to be convinced of it.
I don't believe in failure. It is not failure if you enjoyed the process.
