Making your mark on the world is hard. If it were easy, everybody would do it. But it’s not. It takes patience, it takes commitment, and it comes with plenty of failure along the way. The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won’t. It’s whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it, whether you choose to persevere.

                                                                              --- Barack Obama

 
​A failure is not always a mistake. It may simply be the best one can do under the circumstances. The real mistake is to stop trying.

                                                                                  --–B.F. Skinner

​“Don’t dwell on what went wrong. Instead, focus on what to do next. Spend your energies on moving forward toward finding the answer.”

​“No. Don’t give up hope just yet. It’s the last thing to go. When you have lost hope, you have lost everything. And when you think all is lost, when all is dire and bleak, there is always hope.”
                                                                                 --- Pittacus Lore

​​“Joy is the faith that things may not be perfect yet, but you have the faith to be joyful anyway because, what follows a joyful moment, will always be good.”

                                                                           —Sarah Rajkotwala

​“Joy is a decision, a really brave one, about how you are going to respond to life.”

                                                                               --– Wess Stafford

​You become a worrier by practicing worry. You can become free of worry by practicing the opposite and stronger habit of faith. With all the strength and perseverance you can command, start practicing faith.

                                                                --- Norman Vincent Peale

​"I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers fear".

                                                                           --- Nelson Mandela

"Faith is unseen but felt, faith is strength when we feel we have none, faith is hope when all seems lost".
