Get Up One More Time Than Youve Fallen Down

Have you ever failed or made a mistake? Good, then this nugget is for you. The fact that you've failed is proof that you're not finished. Failures and mistakes can be a bridge, not a barricade, to success. Successful people believe that mistakes are just feedback.One of the riskiest things you can do in life is to make too many precautions and never have any failures and mistakes. Failure is the opportunity to start over more intelligently.

The person who never makes a mistake must get awfully tired of doing nothing. Failure can give you weight or it can give you wings. The best way to go on after a failure is to learn the lesson and forget the details. The only way to make a comeback is to go on. Remember the old poem that says:.

Success is failure turned inside out,
the silver tint to the clouds of doubt.
And you never can tell how close you are;
it may be near when it seems so far.
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit;
it's when things seem worse that you must not quit.- John Mason, from the book Know Your Limits - Then Ignore Them (to check out this book further, please go to www.freshword.com/resources).
