Do not be embarrassed by your failures, learn from them and start again.
It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all, in which case you have failed by default.
Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor.
For my first show at SNL, I wrote a Bill Clinton sketch, and during our read-through, it wasn't getting any laughs. This weight of embarrassment came over me, and I felt like I was sweating from my spine out. But I realized, Okay, that happened, and I did not die. You've got to experience failure to understand that you can survive it.
Failure is enriching. It's also important to accept that you'll make mistakes it's how you build your expertise. The trick is to learn a positive lesson from all of life's negative moments.
I think you have to try and fail, because failure gets you closer to what you're good at.
Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.
Part of being a man is learning to take responsibility for your successes and for your failures. You can't go blaming others or being jealous. Seeing somebody else's success as your failure is a cancerous way to live.
I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying.
There's always failure. And there's always disappointment. And there's always loss. But the secret is learning from the loss, and realizing that none of those holes are vacuums.
My father was not a failure. After all, he was the father of a president of the United States.
Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself.
Please know that I am aware of the hazards. I want to do it because I want to do it. Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail, their failure must be a challenge to others.
We need to accept that we won't always make the right decisions, that we'll screw up royally sometimes understanding that failure is not the opposite of success, it's part of success.
The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows.
You have to be able to accept failure to get better.
I don't want the fear of failure to stop me from doing what I really care about.
Do not fear mistakes. You will know failure. Continue to reach out.
Success is often achieved by those who don't know that failure is inevitable.
Failures, repeated failures, are finger posts on the road to achievement. One fails forward toward success.
