When was the last time you failed?
How bad did you fail?
Was it this bad?
-1832 Failed in business - bankruptcy
-1832 Defeated for legislature
-1834 Failed in business - bankruptcy
-1835 Fiancée died
-1836 Nervous breakdown
-1838 Defeated in election
-1843 Defeated for U.S. Congress
-1848 Defeated for U.S. Congress
-1855 Defeated for U.S. Senate
-1856 Defeated for Vice President
-1858 Defeated for U.S. Senate
If you stopped there, you would have missed the final point:

If there is anything that history bears out, it is that failure almost always precedes success. One of the secrets to great success is to change your perspective on failure. Failure is progress. It's all about failing forward. I hope your week is full of failures in the right direction.
