“# I am not judged by the num- ber of times I fail, but the number of times I succeed, and the number of times I succeed is a direct pro- portion to the number of times I fail and keep trying.”
What this quote means
This quote reverses our relationship with failure. It asserts that success is proportional to the number of attempts, and thus failures overcome. It frees us from the fear of judgment by emphasizing that perseverance is the key. It applies when we give up after a setback: we must understand that each failure is one step closer to success.
How to apply it daily
