"Failure is your inability to recognize that you have made the same mistakes again. Making a mistake is normal, it turns abnormal when it's not recognized!"
"Admire the efforts of a failure like you admire the beauty of a sunset."
"Failure is not an option, winning or learning are the options."
"Fail big. Fail better.Try again. Without looking for a shelter."

"Failure generates its own majesty. Defeat becomes a panoptic stain on the soul; it creates its own all-embracing pathos. Reverses engulf us in fleshy feelings of self-pity, sorrow, and apathy. Resounding setbacks might even be subtlety attractive because it means we can give up trying. It is tempting to accept defeat, surrender to our insecurities, and admit that because of failing to accomplish one particular goal that the best part of our life was wasted. Cynically writing ourselves off as a failure, we are free to capitulate to the emptiness of our lives."
