I had five years of failure, really, before I had the first initial sign of success.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've always had to have some kind of failure before I was successful.
Well, I was lucky enough to be involved in about 19 failures at an early age, so I'm realistic about the success I'm having and how quickly it can go away. What's important is to be smart about it.
I've failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.
My success was due to good luck, hard work, and support and advice from friends and mentors. But most importantly, it depended on me to keep trying after I had failed.
We all deal with failure. If you're lucky to have a long career, it's part of the experience.
After my spectacular failures, I could not be satisfied with an ordinary success.
I am far more comfortable with failure than I ever will be with success.
Forget about the consequences of failure. Failure is only a temporary change in direction to set you straight for your next success.
I was brought up to believe that there is no such thing as failure as long as I'm trying my best. So I've had a 'blood, guts and glory' approach through my whole life.
I've had a lot of success; I've had failures, so I learn from the failure.
