Haruki Murakami Quotes

Losing and winning is a part of life.

Sometimes things go really well, and sometimes they don't, and it's not ultimately the most important thing.

You may not win the Super Bowl. Your kids may not go on to be doctors and lawyers and everything may not go perfectly. That doesn't mean it was a bad plan or the wrong thing. It's just like a football season. Everything's not going to go perfect.

If you don't lose, you cannot enjoy the victories. So I have to accept both things.

You win a few, you lose a few.

You're not going to win all the time.

Life is a series of failures punctuated by brief successes.

I fail sometimes, I succeed sometimes, so that's fair enough. It's a package deal. It comes with that package: failures and success.

A good balance of winning and losing is important. If you just win all the time, you won't get anything out of it; having some tough losses can be really important.

Even the accomplished suffers setbacks sometimes. The more bitter the lessons, the greater the successes will be.

Part of playing the game of life is you're going to have some losses.

No one wants to quit when he's losing and no one wants to quit when he's winning.

It's okay to lose. Losing teaches you something. Having to try and going through the trials and tribulations to actually overcome, to get there to win, to triumph, that's what makes life interesting.

So many times in my life, people have tried to make me a failure.

Sport and life is about losing. It's about understanding how to lose.

Setbacks motivate me.

Winning is great, sure, but if you are really going to do something in life, the secret is learning how to lose. Nobody goes undefeated all the time. If you can pick up after a crushing defeat, and go on to win again, you are going to be a champion someday.

I never feel any pressure about a film. What is meant to happen will happen. I have seen failure as well as success several times.

We all deal with failure. If you're lucky to have a long career, it's part of the experience.

The fact that I'm going to be unsuccessful at times is pretty well-balanced by the fact that I'm going to be successful at others.

Success and failure are both part of life. Both are not permanent.

Success isn't permanent and failure isn't fatal.

How you respond to the challenge in the second half will determine what you become after the game, whether you are a winner or a loser.

Unfortunately in sport it's either good or bad. You've got to take the highs and the lows.

Failure's a natural part of life.
