“In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.”
Bill Cosby
“What is success? You cannot succeed without the presence of failure. If you have the absence of failure, what is there to determine what success truly stands for? It is the great battles of life to discover our weaknesses and strengths. It is what makes us stronger, this is why we fail, and you must see it as a path to success, as we are liberating ourselves to a better outcome. Failing, is simply succeeding in a unique form”
Joseph Jolley
“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.”
“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
“It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.”
Theodore Roosevelt
