If At First You Don't Succeed....
~~ Author Unknown~~

Failure doesn't mean - "You are a failure,"
It means - You have not succeeded.

Failure doesn't mean - "You accomplished nothing,"
It means - You have learned something.

Failure doesn't mean - "You have been a fool,"
It means - You had a lot of faith.

Failure doesn't mean - "You don't have it,"
It means - You were willing to try.

Failure doesn't mean - "You are inferior,"
It means - You are not perfect.

Failure doesn't mean - "You've wasted your life,"
It means - You have a reason to start afresh.

Failure doesn't mean - "You should give up,"
It means - "You must try harder.

Failure doesn't mean - "You'll never make it,"
It means - It will take a little longer.

Failure doesn't mean - "God has abandoned you,"
It means - God has a better way for you.

All persons, no matter how big, make mistakes. But history
teaches us that big people refuse to falter because of their
mistakes. Henry Ford forgot to put a reverse gear in his first
automobile. Edison once spent over two million dollars on
an invention which proved of little value. The person who
makes no mistakes lacks boldness and the spirit of adventure.
They are the ones who never try anything new; they are the
brake on the wheel of progress. Remember, a mistake becomes
an error only when nothing is done to correct it .....

I have a good quote too

"Only those willing to risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go." - TS Elliott

I got another one!

"When life draws to a close,when you no longer see a future for yourself, and when you dwell on your past,then you will wish you had made more of the moments as you were actually living them. Do not wait till then.Doit now!!"

Not about failure,again, but good anyway
