may be its true true dat failures are the steeping stones to success and mani others but a failure in ani field shatters a man either completely or mkes him furious enough to achieve success and never ever turn back to his failures and also help him recover of his fears….!!!!

As long as you are eventually able to learn something or grow as a person, failure isn’t terrible.

That’s a nice idea, but illogical, as repeated failure does not always lead to success.

Wise man once said. It’s better to keep trying and eventually stand atop a mountain of failed attempts triumphant, than to give up and be crushed by that mountain.

This is one thing I am not frugal about. I know a lot of people are so averse to credit and debt… but I am waiting for my “one big idea” that I will be willing to max out my credit cards for.

Go big or go home, right? :p

Failure happens, and most people who are afraid of failure will have a problem succeeding!

My fathers words have been replayed to my children….

“Better to break an arm trying than to never have tried.”

One of the best things I have ever learned…

A great reminder, especially in these economic times. We cannot lose sight of this lesson “Don’t Be Afraid to Fail”. Most of have learned this lesson at one time, but some forget, so this is a valuable reminder. And we do need to be reminded from time to time…

I’ve learned more from failures than I’ve ever learned from successes.

Failure makes you stronger if it’s occasional and mixed with success. If you do nothing but fail, it actually rewires your brain in unfriendly ways.

As for the 10,000-hour thing, I have no doubt that it’s true, but at the age of 44 I have yet to discover the thing I want to put 10,000 hours into mastering.

Very true. It’s good to put this into perspective daily. Even though I usually tell people this message, even I forget it myself from time to time. Thanks Jim for this post, it has certainly gotten my day off to a brighter start.

Failure only makes you stronger. Nobody gets everything perfect on the first time. I have made so many mistakes in my life and each has made me a stronger person coming out of them.
