Og Mandino Quotes

Fall forward. Here's what I mean: Reggie Jackson struck out 2,600 times in his career - the most in the history of baseball. But you don't hear about the strikeouts. People remember the home runs. Fall forward. Thomas Edison conducted 1,000 failed experiments. Did you know that? I didn't either - because number 1,001 was the light bulb. Fall forward. Every failed experiment is one step closer to success.

Whenever you make a mistake or get knocked down by life, don't look back at it too long. Mistakes are life's way of teaching you. Your capacity for occasional blunders is inseparable from your capacity to reach your goals. No one wins them all, and your failures, when they happen, are just part of your growth. Shake off your blunders. How will you know your limits without an occasional failure? Never quit. Your turn will come.

Every time you quit, someone else gets your prize. Every time you make a mistake, you get closer to yours.

You learn more from losing than winning. You learn how to keep going.

The most important lesson to remember is that failure is inevitable, but so is success, so rebound.

Perhaps the most important thing I could say is to never be thrown by failure and mistakes. Each and everything that happens, even if it was not what you hoped would happen, is a valuable, life-learning tool. And you will only achieve success if you know how to learn from your failures and mistakes. It’s vital.

Whatever we succeed in doing is a transformation of something we have failed to do. Thus, when we fail, it is only because we have given up.

I might look successful but I've made many mistakes. People take their failures too seriously. You have to be positive and believe you will find success next time.

I strongly believe that whenever there's failure or you feel like you've failed, it's only just the beginning, and you can only learn from it.

Failure is nothing more than learning how to win.

People ask me, "How do I succeed?" Whatever it is they do, I say, "Go and find 20 ways of messing it up. By 21, you'll be getting there." Life is an adventure, go back with cuts, scars and bruises.

If you're having trouble succeeding, fail.

Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better.

With failure, you just try again.

We will all fail in life, but nobody has to be a failure. Failing at a thing doesn't make you a failure. You are only a failure when you quit trying.

I've had a lot of success; I've had failures, so I learn from the failure.

If you live long enough, you'll make mistakes. But if you learn from them, you'll be a better person. It's how you handle adversity, not how it affects you. The main thing is never quit, never quit, never quit.

Failure is just another step…

The difference between us and them, between you and success, is not that you never fail, but it's how you recover from those failures - is that you keep getting up time and time again. You figure out what you did wrong, and then you make it right. I say that to my kids every day.

The biggest lesson I had in my life was failure.

It's not OK to fail. It's that things can fail and absolutely will go wrong - just keep trying, keep trying, keep trying.

Success can be a horrible teacher.

If you've never quit anything, you really ought to try. And if at first you don't succeed, try again.

A successful man is built of 1,000 failures.
