A Quote by Elon Musk

There's a silly notion that failure's not an option at NASA. Failure is an option here. If things are not failing, you are not innovating enough.

Failure is an option here. If things are not failing, you are not innovating enough.

Elon Musk

They'll tell you failure is not an option. That is ridiculous, failure is always an option. Failure is the most readily available option at all times. But it's a choice. You can choose to fail or you can choose to succeed.

Chael Sonnen

The failure-dichotomy principle: failure is good. Failure is not an option. Balance those in your brain.

Donny Deutsch

It's impossible to have a coin with only one side. You can't have heads without tails. Innovation is like that. Initiative is like that. Art is like that. You can't have success unless you're prepared to have failure. As soon as you say, 'failure is not an option,' you've just said, 'innovation is not an option.'

Seth Godin

In the business world today, failure is apparently not an option. We need to change this attitude toward failure - and celebrate the idea that only by falling on our collective business faces do we learn enough to succeed down the road.

Naveen Jain

Failure is not an option. Failure is necessary...We try. We fail. We learn. We adjust.

Craig Groeschel

This idea that failure is not an option: It makes failure invisible, inconceivable and inevitable.

Rory Stewart

Failure isn't really an option because, as my grandmother used to say, "Nothing beats a failure but a try."

Joy Bryant

If failure is not an option, neither is success. Innovation is just repeated failure till you come up with something that works.

Seth Godin

I never look at failing as an option anyhow. I believe thinking you could fail is already shooting yourself in the foot and setting yourself up for failure.

Ashley Purdy

If failure isn't an option, then success isn't either. Success is just failure repeated until it works.

Seth Godin

Failure is not an option. Failure is a prerequisite.

David Zinczenko

Failure is an option. It's what you do with the failure that makes you who you are. Our failures mold us. I have failed at several things in my life. What sets some of us apart, is that when we fail, we can't sleep at night. It haunts us until we have our time at redemption.

David Goggins

I'm looking into making toilet paper. It's not an option unless you a bum and gotta use newspaper. It's not an option. Like, it's an option if you wanna drive a car. It's an option if you wanna use a straw. It's an option if you wanna wear a pair of Nikes or Reeboks.
