Famous People Who Have Failed
I have a quote by the late opera star, Beverly Sills (1929-2007), on a sticky-note that I keep within eyeshot while I'm in my office. It says...
"There are no shortcuts to any place worth going."There's been millions of pages written about succeeding at what you do — however; just as there is a return on the right decisions you make, there is an equally important return on the wrong decisions you make. It's called - learning from our mistakes and hopefully, helping others avoid making the same mistakes we did.
Remember that everyone has failures in their lives, even those we might never think could fail, as evidenced by the video below.
And on those occasions when I feel like a bug on a windshield, I try to remember something my grandmother used to say -
"That which don't kill us, only makes us stronger."

very poignant and very powerful...thanks Sharon.
POWERFUL point well made!!
Thanks for your comment Eva. I keep thinking of something Carrie Wilkerson (@barefoot_exec) says, "Fail fast and fail hard".
Speaking for myself, I know it has taken my failures to truly appreciate the successes.
