So many famous minds have come to this same conclusion... Edison, Van Gogh, Churchill, and more. If you're in that discouraging world of failure, or even a string of failures, read on for a little encouragement. You might just be one good try away from your dream goal. đ„
âSuccess is not built on success. Itâs built on failure. Itâs built on frustration. Sometimes its built on catastrophe.â âSumner Redstone
"I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.â - Thomas Edison
âSuccess is sometimes the outcome of a whole string of failures.â - Vincent van Gogh
âMany of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.â (also Edison)
âSuccess consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.â âWinston Churchill
âOnly those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.â âRobert F. Kennedy
âYou have to be able to accept failure to get better.â âLeBron James
âFailure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.â âHenry Ford
And one of my personal favorites:
âNo human ever became interesting by not failing. The more you fail and recover and improve, the better you are as a person. Ever meet someone whoâs always had everything work out for them with zero struggle? They usually have the depth of a puddle. Or they donât exist.â âChris Hardwick
So count yourself lucky you have more depth than a puddle, and get back to work.
