The problem is that most people focus on their failures rather than their successes. But the truth is that most people have many more successes than failures.

Jack Canfield

Life is a mixture of successes and failures. May you be encouraged by the successes and strengthened by the failures. As long as you never lose faith in God, you will be victorious over any situation you may face.

Peace Pilgrim

As athletes, we're defined by what we've accomplished. Those are what most people remember and what you get paid for. But I learned more from my failures than from all of my successes put together - failures as an athlete and as a person.

Dan O'Brien

The greatest successes grow out of great failures. In numerous instances the result is better that comes after a series of abortive experiences than it would have been if it had come at once; for all these successive failures induce a skill which is so much additional power working into the final achievement.... The hand that evokes such perfect music from the instrument has often failed in its touch, and bungled among the keys.... Every disappointed effort fences in and indicates the only possible path of success, and makes it easier to find.

Edwin Hubbel Chapin

I have had many successes and many failures in my life. My successes have always been for different reasons, but my failures have always been for the same reason: I said yes when I meant no.

Moss Hart

Small successes are still successes; great failures are still failures.

Mason Cooley

I have learnt more from my failures than my successes.

Richard Branson

In diplomacy, as in life itself, one often learns more from failures than from successes. Triumphs will seem, in retrospect, to be foreordained, a series of brilliant actions and decisions that may in fact have been lucky or inadvertent, whereas failures illuminate paths and pitfalls to be avoided.

Richard Holbrooke

The sooner you accept the fact that you will have both successes and failures, the easier it will be to get your business and personal life headed in the right direction.

Harvey Mackay

I think about all my successes and failures and sometimes the failures stick in your head as much as the wins. But you do move on.

Frank Lampard

I think about all my successes and failures, and sometimes the failures stick in your head as much as the wins. But you do move on.

Frank Lampard

Failures are infinitely more instructive than successes.

George Clooney

I've concluded that I learned far more from my failures than from my successes.

June Hunt

Share your IoT experiences. Share your successes, best practices, and failures. We know that IoT doesn't work perfectly every time, but we can learn from each other's mistakes and vow not to repeat them.

Maciej Kranz

The success of one film may convince the filmmaker to try repeat his successes and get into a competition with himself. One cannot dwell on periodic successes. You have to look at it as a temporary, passing thing.
