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
To dare is to lose one’s footing momentarily. To not dare is to lose oneself.
– Søren Kierkegaard
Don’t fear failure.
Not failure,
but low aim,
is the crime.
In great attempts
It is glorious
even to fail.
Bruce Lee
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
You may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don’t try.
Beverly Sills
Failure is only
the opportunity
more intelligently
to begin again.
Henry Ford
If you’re not prepared to be wrong, you’ll never come up with anything original.
Sir Ken Robinson
