Fr. Jose Kaimlett Failure does not mean I am a failure;
It does mean I have not yet succeeded.
Failure does not mean I have accomplished nothing;
It does mean I have learned something.
Failure does not mean I have been a fool;
It does mean I had enough faith to experiment.
Failure does not mean I have disgraced;
It does mean I have dared to try.
Failure does not mean I don’t have it;
It does mean I have something to do in a different way.
Failure does not mean I am inferior;
It does mean I am not perfect.
Failure does not mean I have wasted my life;
It does mean that I have an excuse to start over.
Failure does not mean that I should give up;
It does mean that I should try harder.
Failure does not mean that I will never make it;
It does mean that I need more practice.
It does mean that I need a better idea.
Failure is only a temporary change in direction to set you straight for your next success. Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.
A failure is a man who has blundered but is not capable of cashing in on the experience. The only real failure in life is the failure to try.
There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from previous failures. If you fail, prepare better; and start again. Never take ‘failure’ for the final word. Success is nothing else but ‘failure turned inside out.’
