Treat failure as a lesson on how not to approach achieving a goal, and then use that learning to improve your chances of success when you try again. Failure is only the end if you decide to stop.

It is easy to be cynical about such things, much harder to be successful.

There is something that you can do better than anyone else in the whole world--and for every unique talent and unique expression of that talent, there are also unique needs.
