Great success is built on failure, frustration, even catastrophe.
Everyone faces defeat. It may be a stepping-stone or a stumbling block, depending on the mental attitude with which it is faced.
What's important is not the accolades and memories of success but the way you respond when opportunities are denied.
How many mistakes can one life survive?
No human being is immune to adversity or personal setbacks.
Losing prepares you for the heartbreak, setback, and the tragedy that you will encounter in the world more than winning ever can. By licking your wounds you learn how to avoid getting wounded the next time.
I don't believe in charmed lives. I think that tragedy is part of the lesson you learn to lift yourself up, to pick yourself up and to move on.
