One may have many failings and yet still be far from being a failure. To err is to do nothing more than to join the human race. Failure is never the final chapter of the book of your life unless you give up and quit. The man who risks everything to try to achieve something truly worthwhile and fails is anything but a disgraceful failure. Strange as it may seem to some of you, success is much more difficult to live with successfully than is failure.
Failure is either a blessing or a curse, depending upon the individuals reaction or response to it.
The best possible thing to do with failure is to learn all you can from it.
