Failure Quote by C. JoyBell C
““That man doesn't know how to fail and that's his greatest weakness. You see, and always remember this, there are two things you need to know how to do in life : Firstly, you need to know how to win, secondly, you need to know how to fail beautifully. You need to know how to fail so beautifully, that it looks just like winning! These two things, you hear? But that man only knows how to win and when you don't know how to fail, you miss some of the best turns in life. You see, the best places we end up in are from the wrong turns we took on the trips to where we thought we needed to go! You get lost on the map, at the race, and you end up in places you thought you'd never be: those are always the best stories. But you'll never have that in life if all you know how to do is win, if you don't know how to get lost. You have got to know how to fail, too. You don't wanna be like that man. Part of being a winner, is knowing how to fail beautifully.””
