Failure is a four-letter word

Failure as most define it is an illusion, because in order to truly fail at something, you would have to take an action that resulted in no outcome at all or quit due to fear. As your actions have undesirable results, you are not failing, you are just learning what does not work.

As  you learn from each attempt that you make, minimizing the recurrence of past mistakes, odds are in time, you will get better at whatever you are pursuing.  Success often is less a measure of what you know, or who you know, but rather of how committed and convicted you are to succeed, because desire will inspire you to far greater heights than any sense of obligation. 

Most things worth doing are worth doing badly in the pursuit of learning how to do it well, for as you miss the mark, you can learn from your mistakes, and as you really committed, learn from the collective mistakes and wisdom of others in the form of formal and informal education, because we only truly fail, as we fail to try, because a dream does not die until the dreamer ceases to dream.
