Failure - Power Quotes Series

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with R & D Art

Years ago, one of the first things that I learned in life is that failure comes with the territory and if you are not will to face it head one and accept that it happens, then you will never be successful. I can remember that Tomas Edison talked about the failures that he had prior to creating the light bulb. He had said that the failures were viewed as getting him one step closer to creating the light bulb.

Ultimately you have 2 ways to look at failure. Accept that you failed and do nothing about it. Or accept that you failed and reassess the situation to find a path that works. I like the second scenario better.

I hope that you find something that is inspirational to you this morning from the quotes below. Also, if you have a moment, please click on the pictures and you can read about some people that overcome their failures.

 

My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure.
Abraham Lincoln

You're on the road to success when you realize that failure is only a detour.

Failure is not a single, cataclysmic event. You don't fail overnight. Instead, failure is a few errors in judgment, repeated every day.
Jim Rohn

Make failure your teacher, not your undertaker.
Zig Ziglar

I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward.
Thomas A. Edison</

You haven't failed until you quit trying.

Success is the proper utilization of failure.

You know Danny, the old saying, "Wise men learn by other men's mistakes, fools by their own," from H. G. Bohn I have always thought was wrong. My opinion is that a wise man learns from his own mistakes and a fool never learns. Mistakes and failure can teach us a lot.

Deborah, that is a great way to look at it.
