I have failed many times, but I have never gone into a game expecting myself to fail. — © Michael Jordan
I have failed many times, but I have never gone into a game expecting myself to fail.
We all fail - I have failed so many times, but it never discourages me. I just pick up and go.
I guess another message I'd like to say with this book is no matter how many times you fail... I failed a lot of times trying to get clean, and never thought I'd get to this point.
I failed at the biggest things there are in life. I failed in my health, I failed in my marriage, I failed in everything, and I've picked myself up and gone on.
If you run a website that doesn't have something that's terrible on it, you are not trying hard enough. You have to fail, fail, fail. You have to fail and fail miserably many times.
How many times have I failed before? How many times have I stood here like this, in front of my own image, in front of my own person, trying to convince him not to be scared, to go on, to get out of this rut? How many times before I finally convince myself, how many private, erasable deaths will I need to die, how may self-murders is it going to take, how many times will I have to destroy myself before I learn, before I understand?
There have been times when I have failed. But there have never been times when I thought I would fail
More times than not, it's a failed endeavor. You will fail more times than you succeed. But I think you need those failed endeavors.
I'll never forget the moment in class when I went from being afraid to fail, to expecting to fail. This informs everything I do.
I failed eating, failed drinking, failed not cutting myself into shreds. Failed friendship. Failed sisterhood and daughterhood. Failed mirrors and scales and phone calls. Good thing I'm stable.
Edison failed 10,000 times before he made the electric light. Do not be discouraged if you fail a few times.
The reason so many people fail to achieve success is because they fail to fail enough times.
I have never judged myself by other people’s standards. I have always expected a great deal of myself, and if I fail, I fail myself.
I was blessed with a sense of my own destiny. I have never sold myself short. I have never judged myself by other people's standards. I have always expected a great deal of myself, and if I fail, I fail myself. So failure or reversal does not bring out resentment in me because I cannot blame others for any misfortune that befalls me.
Communism has failed; capitalism has failed; common sense has failed; now has to fail stupidity.
I had so many other things I could fall back on as an entrepreneur (with multiple businesses). When I finally was true to myself and what I wanted to do - and acting was it - there was nothing else I could think of. I thought "If I fail, I'm falling hard (because) I don't have anything else to fall back on. Am I going to accept that?"...I never looked back. I never (let myself) put it in my mind to fail.
Don't be afraid to fail. I fail every day. I failed thousands of times writing The Book Thief, and that book now means everything to me. I had many doubts and fears about that book, but some of what I feel are the best ideas in it came to me when I was working away for apparently no result. Failure has been my best friend as a writer. It tests you, to see if you have what it takes to see it through.
