There are plenty of Inspirational Quotes regarding the value of failure, but one of my favorites comes from Elbert Hubbard. He writes: “A failure is a man who has blundered, but is not able to cash in on the experience.” Those are some encouraging words for us failures. Or reminders that we’re even bigger failures for not seeing our failures as stepping stones to success. Whatever your perspective, the fact remains that we all have set backs. And how easy is it to just say the hell with it all and head for the bar? It’s very easy. That, however, is what keeps a man under his own thumb. The less you believe in yourself the less likely you are to achieve your goals. The idea, as this quote illuminates, is to perceive these set backs as learning experiences so that you don’t repeat them. A feat I am still unable to grasp.
