“Redefine the word 'fail.' There is no failure in life other than not trying. If you want something badly enough, make an attempt. If you want to paint, get a brush and do it. If you want to sing, sing. A lot of people get scared. They're afraid to fail. Take that word out of your vocabulary. You don't 'fail.' You've 'tried your best.'”
Jane Seymour
“Manage the fear of failure. It will visit many times as you work the plan. Face the fear in your mind. See it as a visitor coming to your door. Ask the fear four questions: Who are you? Why are you here? Who sent you? What do you have to tell me? Listen deep within and seriously consider what the fear is telling you. Then reevaluate your plan and, if necessary, adjust it in light of your new knowledge. Never stop simply because you are afraid that you may fail.”
Terence T. Gorski
“Don’t be afraid to make mistakes – they teach important lessons.”
“Many fail because they do nothing out of the fear of making a mistake.”
“In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.”
Bill Cosby
“If you cannot teach me to fly, teach me to sing.”
James Matthew Barrie
“Be as a bird perched on a frail branch that she feels bending beneath her, still she sings away all the same, knowing she has wings.”
Victor Hugo
