So many times in my life, people have tried to make me a failure.

We will all fail in life, but nobody has to be a failure. Failing at a thing doesn't make you a failure. You are only a failure when you quit trying.

I have an enormous sense of having failed in life.

I failed at the biggest things there are in life. I failed in my health, I failed in my marriage, I failed in everything, and I've picked myself up and gone on.

Anything I wanted to do and achieve has not been influential in my life, but my failures have.

I've always had to have some kind of failure before I was successful.

I'm drawn to failure. I feel like I'm contending with it constantly in my own life.

Sometimes you learn more from failure than you do from success, and in some ways it's better to have failure at the beginning of your career, or your life.
