failure

There is treasure hidden beneath the entire land, but the problem is people are unwilling to dig it out.

Dreams aren't only an illusion to put you into a subconsciously pleasurable state of mind for the time being, but also a pathway to gain complete contentment.

Great leadership produces great success. Weak leadership produces failure.

Nothing is as empowering as real-world validation, even if it's for failure.

I've failed in communication...and so I've learned to have open and honest dialogue at the opportune, and appropriate time.I've failed in relationships...and so I've learned to appreciate the people in my life, and to treat them with kindness.I've failed in paying bills...and so I've learned to properly and effectively manage my time, my talent and my resources.I've failed in work or business ventures...and so I've learned to be more prudent with planning, and more efficient in execution.I've failed in dodging a ball...and so I've learned to anticipate danger and to protect myself.Live, Love, Learn, and Be Well.

The greatest happiness of life was to stand at the difficult border between success and failure.

Yet so often it seems that victory eludes us. It is when our self-confidence is finally destroyed and is replaced with dependence upon God that we have victory.

I tried and failed. I tried again and again and succeeded.[Epitaph from Gail Borden's gravestone.]

When I rise uplet me rise up joyfullike a bird.When I falllet me fall without regretlike a leaf.

God has provided you with many avenues for obtaining wisdom and averting failure. Resist your inclination to accept advice with easy solutions and to reject help that requires a more difficult path.

I saw Dad's eyes widen just a fraction when he heard my voice catch. He glanced at me but quickly turned away. He didn't want me to see his reaction, but I did, and I'll never forget it. In that brief glimpse, I could see what he was thinking behind that fixed stare. There would be no grandkids, there would be no more Creed family bloodline, nothing else to look forward to. From that point on I'd become the last, most devastating disappointment in what he thought his life had added up to--one overwhelming failure.

Procrastination and excuses are sour spices that spoil the sweet taste of an effective work. They must hence, not be prompted under desire, partly because they are strictly time-stripping and also because they have no known essence.

I would walk the way and accept the risks I have counted, rather accepting my failure.

Schools don't really allow failure and yet it's part of any endeavour, not just writing.

You__e thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn__ at all. Failure is a teacher _ a harsh one, perhaps, but the best. You say you have a desk full of rejected manuscripts? That__ great! Every one of those manuscripts was rejected for a reason. Have you pulled them to pieces looking for that reason? You__e got to put failure to work for you. That__ where you__l find success. On the far side of failure.

I counsel you, put down in record even your doubts and surmises. Hereafter it may be of interest to you to see how true you guess. We learn from failure, not from success.

My friend Richard Carrion, the CEO of Puerto Rico__ top bank, once shared a line with me that I__l never forget: __obin, nothing fails like success._ Powerful thought. Your business is most vulnerable when it__ most successful. Success actually breeds complacency, inefficiency and _ worst of all _ arrogance. Whenever I share this point with a roomful of CEOs, every one of them nods their head at this one. Please let me give you a real-world example from my own life.

Fear of failure prevents you from realising your dreams of success.
