Success and Failure lie closer to each other than many people think.
Success without former failure rarely exists at all, do not seek for it!

A mistake: An event, the full benefit of which ahs not yet been turned to your advantage.

Are you a dumb person?
Whenever you leave behind failure that means you’re doing better. If you think everything you’ve done has been great, you’re probably dumb.
Louis CK
Make mistakes, admit mistakes, remember mistakes.

Go for it!
A life spent making mistakes is not only more honourable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.
George Bernard Shaw
I do not care what it is that you love, I do not care what your passions are. I dare you, nay, I double-dare you to pursue your dreams and not to be afraid of failure.
Embrace failure, enjoy your learning process and start over again!

Keep going!
Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.
Thomas A. Edison
Trial and Error
If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.
Franklin D. Roosevelt

Failure is choice
When doubt seeps in, you got two raods, you can take either road. You can go to the left or you can go to the right and believe me, they’ll tell you failure is not an option. That is ridiculous. Failure is always an option. Failure is the most readily available option at all times, but it’s a choice. You can choose to fail or you can choose to succeed.

Do you desire success?
In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.
Bill Cosby
You won’t succeed as long as your fear of failure holds you back.
Sometimes you have to ignore risks, have a false conception of reality and just go for it!

Discipline!
Discipline is the foundation upon which all success is built. Lack of discipline inevitably leads to failure.
Jim Rohn
Yup, talent is awesome. So are great circumstances or plain luck. But also hard work and dedication! And while you do not have controll over talent, circumstances or luck you do have controll over your own discipline!
Discipline will lead to success. Set yourself a goal, think about how to achieve it and work your ass off! It does not get any harder, and not simpler.
I do know how hard it can be, believe me. But I also do know that every single one of you (including me) is able to be disciplined.
You know the saying: You either face the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. I chose discipline, what will you?

Take the lesson
Whenever you fall pick something up
Oswald Avery
A very nice metaphor for how you should deal with failure and loss. Take the best out of it and enjoy the good lesson. The harder the fall, the better the lesson.
