“Failure Is Simply The Opportunity To Begin Again, This Time More Intelligently.”

My dear,

Why do we fear failure? Is it because it stings worse than the poison tipped sword? Embarrasses more than the family drunk?

Why do we fear failure so?

Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.

Failure is simply a restart. You’re back to where you were when you began, but now you are wiser – you see the obstacles more easily, you see the path more readily, and you surpass your circumstances more quickly.

Failure is an opportunity, not a threat.

Falsely yours,
Henry Ford
