Tom Hopkins’ Daily Affirmations On Failure
I never see failure as failure, but only as a learning
experience.
I never see failure as failure, but only as the negative
feedback I need to change course in my direction.
I never see failure as failure but only as the opportunity to
develop my sense of humor.
I never see failure as failure but only as an opportunity to
practice my techniques and perfect my performance.
I never see failure as failure, but only as the game I must
play to win!
–Theodore Roosevelt
“The credit belongs to the man who is
actually in the arena; whose face is
marred by sweat and blood; who strives
valiantly; who errs and comes short again
and again because there is no effort
without error and shortcoming; who
knows the great enthusiasms, the great
devotion, spends himself in a worthy
cause; who at best knows in the end the
triumph of high achievement; and who at
worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring
greatly, so that his place shall never be
with those cold and timid souls who have
never tasted victory or defeat.”
