There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.
Colin Powell

You are a human being, make use of that fact! You are able to learn from your mistakes and avoid them the next time. This ability is very important and too many people just don’t appreciate it enough. While preparation and hard work are concepts that take a little bit time to get used to, they still are understandable for most people. Failure on the other hand is like a stop-sign for most people, they accept it as final, which is in most cases bullshit!

Failing is life teaching you a lesson. You can take the lesson and start over again or you can go home and accept defeat. In both cases life will go on but only in one case you grow.

Decide to grow. Decide to learn! Decide to fail!
