Failure Quotes

“It‘s utterly astounding that every time I get knocked down God’s mercy compassionately raises me to my feet; His grace thoroughly brushes off every trace of assorted filth I accumulated in the fall, His word precisely recalibrates my direction to insure the success of a journey resumed, and once all of that is completed He gently leans over and whispers, “How about another run?”

Before I know it, it feels like I've shriveled up. But that's not right. If I allow myself to shrivel and harden, I won't be able to changed who I am now. I won't be able to learn from and absorb the world around me. You can't change other people, but you can change yourself. If I'm too unexperienced and unskilled to pass... then I just need to gain more experience and skills. That's why I want to become flexible. If I'm flexible, I can take on any form and absorb anything. Then, I feel like I'd be able to do anything. I think I'd be able to become the full-fledged Undine I've always wanted to be!”

“Whatever area that you get into, given that, even if you're the best of the best, there's always a chance of failure. So, I think it's important that you really like whatever you're doing. If you don't like it, life is too short. And also, if you like what you are doing, you think about it even when you are not working. It's something your mind drawn to. And if you don't like it, you just really can't make it work I think.”

“Nat and I are entrepreneurs. It’s been feast of famine over the years. One of the greatest blessings in our lives is that when times get tough, we are willing to do the hard and necessary…even if that means digging out cans from the trash can at the park to recycle them for money and use the change to get gas to drive into town to buy groceries (true story).”

“Don't lose hope. If your hope gets lost, the other side called "failure" begins to win! The quickest medicine to heal a depressed soul is to command; "arise my soul and praise the Lord". Hope is the clothe piece in which wraps a healthy soul!”
