When asked how to achieve success more rapidly, came the quick reply, 'Double your failure rate'.
Failure is a prerequisite for great success. If you want to succeed faster, double your rate of failure.
If you want to increase your success rate, double your failure rate.
Do you want to succeed? Then, double you rate of failure. Success lies on the far side of failure.
Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It's quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure.
To double your successes, you might have to double your failure rate.
If you want to succeed, double your failure rate.
The fastest way to succeed is to double your rate of failure.
You cannot achieve success without the risk of failure. And I learned a long time ago, you cannot achieve success, if you fear failure. If you're not afraid to fail, man, you have a chance to succeed. But you're never gonna get there unless you risk it, all the way. I'll risk failure. Sometimes, half the fun is failing. Learning from your mistakes, waking up the next morning, and saying 'Okay. Watch out. Here I come again. A little bit smarter, licking my wounds, and really not looking forward to getting my ass kicked the way I just did yesterday.' So now, I'm just a little more dangerous.
What is failure? We can’t possibly know what failure is. Most people think they do, but that’s because they’re judging how their lives should be and what they need it to be: a success. Who is to say what’s a success and what’s a failure? Do your best. Trust. Relax. Do your best. Enjoy yourself.
If all of the issues that I have worked on were depending on some measure of success, it would be a total failure. I don't anticipate success. We're not asked to be successful, we are only asked to be faithful. I couldn't even tell you what success is.
The opposite of success is not failure. Unsuccessful efforts are not failures unless they so discourage you that you abandon further efforts to achieve your goal. Even then, the venture or effort may be a failure but you are not. Failure is an event not a character trait.
The secret of success is to triple your rate of failure.
You cannot achieve success without the risk of failure...You cannot achieve success if you FEAR failure.
If you want to double your success ratio, you have to double your failure ratio.
Cultivate your desire for success to be greater than the fear of failure; Failure is merely a pitstop between where you stand and success. Failure allows you to learn the fastest; Failure inspires winners and defeats losers.
There are two things that a playwright can have. Success or failure. I imagine there are dangers in both. Certainly the danger of being faced with indifference or hostility is discouraging, and it may be that success - acceptance if it's too quick, too lightning-quick - can turn the heads of some people.
