“Fear of failure must never be a reason not to try something.”
Frederick Smith
“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
“All I worried about was what (Owings) was doing to me, instead of what I was doing to him. When you start worrying about that stuff, you're going down the wrong path.”
Dan Gable
“He who risks and fails can be forgiven. He who never risks and never fails is a failure in his whole being.”
