We don’t stop playing because we grow old. We grow old because we stop playing. George Bernard Shaw
Reclaiming failure is about owning failure – making failure work for us instead of being something to fear or avoid. By understanding how failure works, and talking through tactics for changing our relationship with failure, we can learn faster, grow more, and achieve things we might not have even attempted before.
We don’t stop playing because we grow old. We grow old because we stop playing. George Bernard Shaw
Don’t fear failure.
Not failure,
but low aim,
is the crime.
In great attempts
It is glorious
even to fail.
Bruce Lee
Death is not a period that ends the great sentence of life, but a comma that punctuates it to more lofty significance.
— Martin Luther King, Jr., Eulogy for the Martyred Children
Failure is
something
we can avoid
only by
saying
nothing,
doing
nothing,
and
being
nothing.
— Dennis Waitley
The greatest reward for a man’s failure is not necessarily the consequent success, but what he becomes by it.
— Ogwo David Emenike
No human ever became interesting by not failing. The more you fail and recover and improve, the better you are as a person. Ever meet someone who’s ALWAYS had EVERYTHING work out for them with ZERO struggle? They usually have the depth of a puddle. Or they don’t exist.
Chris Hardwick
Being human means you will make mistakes. And you will make mistakes, because failure is God’s way of moving you in another direction.
Oprah Winfrey
Failure is only
the opportunity
more intelligently
to begin again.
Henry Ford
The things which hurt, instruct.
-Benjamin Franklin
Failure is good. It’s fertilizer. Everything I’ve learned about coaching, I’ve learned from making mistakes.
