I keep Failing in Love, in Business, in Life.

I’m a success, in some areas, because I fail several times a day, and learn from my mistakes. In other areas, I’m a failure, because I fail several times a day, and fail to learn from my missteps. Instead, I take my failures personally—”maybe I’m not good enough.”

Damn right I’m not good enough: that’s why they call it “practice.”

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” ~ Winston Churchill

Michael Jordan, the greatest, failed often:

“I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” ~ Michael Jordan 

“Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.” ~ Henry Ford

“It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all – in which case, you fail by default.” ~ J.K Rowling 

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

“You might as well ask. Sure, she might say ‘no.’ But if you don’t ask, it’ll be ‘no’ for sure.” ~ My mom
