“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

I mean learn from their

abject, humiliating, bonehead, epic fails.”

"Steve Jobs failed better than anyone else in

Silicon Valley, maybe better than anyone in

corporate America. By that I mean Jobs did

what only the greatest entrepreneurs can do:

learn from their failures. I don’t mean learn

from their mistakes. I mean learn from their

abject, humiliating, bonehead, epic fails."

Nick Schulz of the American Enterprise Institute

I've failed over and

over and over again

"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my

career. I've lost almost 300 games. Twenty-

six times I've been trusted to take the game

winning shot and missed. I've failed over and

over and over again in my life. And that is

why I succeed."

And that is

why I succeed."
