A writer once said: "The person who succeeds is not the one who holds back, fearing failure, nor the one who never fails . . . but rather the one who moves on inspite of failure."
As Lowell wrote: "Not failure but low aim is CRIME"
as Teddy Roosevelt believed: "Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checked with failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat"
Great accomplishments are often attempted but occationally reached. What is interesting is that those who reached them are usually those who missed many times before. Failures you see, are only temporary tests to prepare us for permanent triumphs.
Be aware, sighs and tears and thoughts of quitting are understandable for the moment but inexcusable for the future. Get up and go on with it. And iIif you are looking for an absolute guarantee against future failures, I know only for one - death.
