man can stand a straight failure with
courage; but it is the "almosts' that
tend to paralyze energies and cripple
aspirations. Nevertheless, no man is
really fitted to meet with success who
has not first learned how to fail right.
The initial step in how to fail right
is to train yourself from the beginning
of your business career to face either
of these two results with a level head,
get it, or forget it; and, once you have
learned how to do this. you have the
philosophy of life in your hand. Hold
back with iron grasp the threatening 4
approach of despair, and teach your /.
self to recognize failure as a post I
