You never fail until you’re satisfied with failure. Failure is not falling down; failure is staying down when you have the choice to get back up. Sometimes you have to fail a thousand times to succeed. Which means you haven’t really failed yet; you’ve just found a bunch of ways that don’t work. 

So don’t get so hung up on a few failed attempts that you miss every new opportunity coming your way. All of your ideas that don’t work are simply stepping stones on your way to the one idea that does.

As Winston Churchill once said, “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”
