** Mistakes are a part of being human. Appreciate your mistakes for what they are: precious life lessons that can only be learned the hard way. Unless it's a fatal mistake, which, at least, others can learn from.

** Wise men profit more from fools than fools from wise men; for the wise men shun the mistakes of fools, but fools do not imitate the successes of the wise.

** Laughing at our mistakes can lengthen our own life. Laughing at someone else's can shorten it.
** No one who cannot rejoice in the discovery of his own mistakes deserves to be called a scholar.
** The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one.
** It's always helpful to learn from your mistakes because then your mistakes seem worthwhile.
** A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.
** When you make a mistake, don't look back at it long. Take the reason of the thing into your mind and then look forward. Mistakes are lessons of wisdom. The past cannot be changed. The future is yet in your power.
** Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes
Mahatma Gandhi (1869 - 1948)

** Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes.

** Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.

( by Thomas edison)

** "I've missed over 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times I've been trusted to take the game-winning shot...and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."

-- Michael Jordan (Professional Basketball Player)

** Don't Be Afraid To Fail

You've failed many times, although you don't remember.

You fell down the first time you tried to walk.

You almost drowned the first time you tried to swim.

Did you hit the ball the first time you swung a bat?

Heavy hitters, the ones who hit the most home runs, also strike out a lot.

R.H. Macy failed seven times before his store in New York caught on.

English novelist John Creasey got 753 rejection slips before he published 564 books.

Babe Ruth struck out 1330 times but he also hit 714 home runs.

Don't worry about failure.

Worry about the chances you miss when you don't even try.

** "A man can fail many times, but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody else."

-- John Burroughs

** "Ninety-nine percent of all failures come from people who have a habit of making excuses."

** "Failure? I never encountered it. All I ever met were temporary setbacks."

( This above one is one of my favs)

** "A bend in the road is not the end of the road unless you fail to make the turn."

** "Don't dwell on what went wrong. Instead, focus on what to do next. Spend your energies on moving forward toward finding the answer."

** "Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail."

** "Don't fear failure so much that you refuse to try new things. The saddest summary of a life contains three descriptions: could have, might have, and should have."

** "Failure is a part of success. There is no such thing as a bed of roses all your life. But failure will never stand in the way of success if you learn from it."

** "Failure is not fatal.

Failure should be our

teacher, not our undertaker.

It should challenge us to new

heights of accomplishments, not

pull us to new depths of despair.

From honest failure can

come valuable experience."

** "I can accept failure -- everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying."

-- Michael Jordan, basketball player

** "I do not fear failure. I only fear the slowing up of the engine inside of me which is pounding, saying, Keep going, someone must be on top, why not you?
