I've probably failed more often than anybody else in Silicon Valley. Those don't matter. I don't remember the failures. You remember the big successes.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In most parts of the world, starting a company that goes bust is dubbed a 'failure.' In Silicon Valley, we call this 'gaining experience.' We are willing to take the risks that are inherent for innovation.
I've always had to have some kind of failure before I was successful.
Failure doesn't mean you are a failure it just means you haven't succeeded yet.
I have seen many successful people fail after they start fearing they might lose what they have built.
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.
Everyone knows that Silicon Valley is chock full of fabulous people who 'do good while doing well.'
Most of the time you will fail, but you will also occasionally succeed. Those occasional successes make all the hard work and sacrifice worthwhile.
There is no such thing as failure. There are only results.
I've had a lot of success; I've had failures, so I learn from the failure.
I think I fail a bit less than everyone else.
