Failure

Only
those who dare to fail greatly
can ever achieve greatly.
Robert

For
every failure, there's an alternative course of action.
You just have to find it.
When you come to a roadblock, take a detour.

Failure
is success if we learn from it.
Malcolm
Forbes
Commit
yourself to a dream. . . . Nobody
who tries to
do something great but fails
is a total
failure. Why? Because they
can
always rest assured that they
succeeded in
life's most important battle--
they defeated the
fear of trying.

Our
greatest glory is not in never failing,
but in rising up every time we fail.
Ralph
Waldo Emerson |

Life's
lessons come through failures probably more than successes.
Through our failures we learn humility. We learn to
look to others
for help and guidance. We learn how to let others
fail, too.
We fail because we are human. When we no longer fear
failure, we are
free to attempt greater feats. We dare to learn more,
and life is fuller
for it--not just our own lives, but the lives that we touch.

Failure is a reality; we all fail at times and
it’s painful when we do.
But it’s better to fail while striving for something
wonderful,
challenging, adventurous and uncertain than to say, “I
don’t want
to try, because I may not succeed completely.”
Jimmy Carter |

No
matter the goal you have set -- if you have not quit, you
have not failed.

Those
who hope to avoid all failure and misfortune are
trying to live in a fairyland; wise people realistically
accept
failures as a part of life and build philosophies to meet
them and make the best of them.

You
need the ability to fail. I'm amazed at the number of
organizations that set up an environment where they do not
permit their people to be wrong. You cannot innovate
unless you are willing to accept some mistakes.

The
sheer rebelliousness in giving ourselves permission to fail
frees a childlike awareness and clarity. . . . When we give
ourselves
permission to fail, we at the same time give ourselves
permission to excel.
Eloise

Even monkeys fall out of trees.
Japanese proverb |

What
a shame to be so afraid of failure that you stop living.
My wife has a great one-liner about failure:
"Never consider
yourself a failure--you can always serve as a bad
example."
She is right. Failure can be a better teacher than
success.

What
can any of us do with our talent but try to develop our
vision, so that
through frequent failures we may learn better what we missed
in the past.
William Carlos Williams |

There really is no such thing as failure. There
is only
the rearrangement of plans and surrender of ego.
