failure

The threat of failure shouldn't kill the fun of dreaming.

Fatigue, discomfort, discouragement are merely symptoms of effort.

You only fail when you stop trying.

It takes only a split second for life to go horribly wrong. To fix the mess, I need a thousand things to go right. The distance from one bit of luck to the next feels as great as the distance across oceans. But, I decide in this moment, I will bridge that distance, again and again, until I win. I will not fail.

Most of my failures can be ascribed to the fact that I chose that which was __asy_ over that which was __ight_. And while it__ __ight_ to admit this to myself, it isn__ __asy._ So, which choice am I going to make this time?

Failure is like flu. It can happen to anyone. Just as it is difficult to find a person who hasn__ had the flu, it is difficult to find someone who has not been stuck by failure at some time.

Life is like a roller coaster. Ups and downs are just part of the ride.

Testing the wrong person can prove a massive failure for the antagonist.

Because of the past, so many people are living in the past! No one is free from the past, but we are free to choose to move from the past into the present or stay in the past, though we live in the present!

I'd already figured out that not understanding my failings was another one of my failings.

This was defeat. This was failure; a quiet, ashen world. True humility and obedience, where the knee is bowed to the inevitable, the ring is kissed without pride or restraint.

We are some combination of strengths and weaknesses, virtues and less-than-virtuous inclinations. Greed, selfishness and pride are often co-conspirators planning their return just beyond the surface of our consciousness.

Yes, failure is part of the mix, he says, but it is a means, not an end. If you fail repeatedly, and in the same manner, you're an idiot, not a genius.

Maybe this is how it happened first for everyone __dults promising us their own failed future.

I don't believe in failure. It is not failure if you enjoyed the process.

If you're trying to do something new, you may feel uncomfortable with the idea of starting, or you may worry that your idea won't be accepted by everyone. One way to 'get over it' is to learn to become comfortable with failure.

The fear of failure kills creativity and intelligence. The only thing it produces is conformity.

Have you failed today? If not, you might not be trying hard enough. Failure is a part of growth, a stepping stone towards success. In its own right it is a small victory and should be celebrated as such. So I ask you again, have you failed today?
