After a lot of feedback on my earlier post, here are some more quotes about how failure is the new black:
“Remember the two benefits of failure. First, if you do fail, you learn what doesn’t work; and second, the failure gives you the opportunity to try a new approach.”
Roger Von Oech, American author
“There is nothing wrong with being wrong.”
Mokokoma Mokhonoana, South African philosopher
“Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.”
Robert F. Kennedy, American politician
“We are all failures- at least the best of us are.”
J.M. Barrie, Scottish author
“Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be.”
John Wooden, American basketball coach
“Make no cry in failure! Make no noise in success! In failure, silence; in success, silence! Fly with the same attitude both in the high and in the low altitudes!”
Mehmet Murat ildan, Turkish playwright
“If you’re not failing every now and again, it’s a sign you’re not doing anything very innovative.”
Woody Allen, American screenwriter/director
Do you have more quotes about failure to add?
FAIL: First Attempt In Learning
“You’ve got to be willing to fail, and crash and burn … if you’re afraid of failing, you won’t get very far.” – Steve Jobs
Failure is only a word people use to describe a situation. We all experience doubts, loss, set-backs, and disappointments. You can’t expect others to have confidence in your abilities or dreams. And the world can be largely immune to your whims and wishes.
It is important to redefine success for yourself, so that you can better address your own challenges.
“I’m a success today because I had a friend who believed in me and I didn’t have the heart to let him down.” – Lincoln
this quote seems more relevant these days of innovation, scarcity and disruption in life, businesses and culture wars
