    The two best quotes, EVER!

    "Every man dies, not every man really lives."
    - William Wallace

    "It's better to try and fail than to have never tried at all."
    - Michael Jordan

    So many people in today's society are overwhelmed with anxiety and insecurities that they hold back and never really reach their full potential. The fear of failure holds so many people back that they never strive for better things and accept status quo because its comfortable to them.

    Almost 100% of successful business men have failed in one or more of their attempts at business before they hit it big. Think about that.

    And those who make it right away are most likely to go under once the shit eventually hits the fan.

      Not only that but they don't appreciate failure and someone who doesn't appreciate failure will never fully appreciate success.

      I must have started at least 10 companies before one finally became a success.

          yeah i think anybody who is succesfull will say the same thing. It is more of a passion thing. Really! If you loose passion then it is over. Also I believe a great entrepreneur knows how to start and build a compnay quickly. Then knows when to get just as quickly too ;)

            Many years ago a CEO told me he'd rather hire someone that's failed and learned from it than someone that's never tried.

                  You lost me at, "A friend told me...."

                  What does that quote mean?

                        My old boss once told me, it's ok to make small mistakes because eventually you will get it right. If you make no mistakes that means you're not trying.

                        Someone who is nice to you but mean to the waiter is not really a nice person.

                                That is indeed a good one.

                                However, I can't really see that framed sitting inside someone's office. If I did, they would get all of my business for life just on shear principle alone.

                                  Then it must be my turn to hit it big. While I have not failed, I have not progressed to what I want.

                                        It's said that Tom Watson, former IBM CEO, was asked if he was going to fire an executive whose recent mistake cost the company six hundred thousand dollars. Watson shook his head and explained, "I just spent six hundred thousand dollars training him. Why would I want anyone else to hire his experience?"

                                              Just read one yesterday:

                                              Self-Made men are Self-Evident.

                                              Been chewing on that for almost 2 days now.

                                                    To a pessimist:
                                                    You failed 9 times out of 10

                                                    To an optimist:
                                                    You learned how to not run a business 9 times ... and that helped you finally accomplish success

                                                    Personally, I started 5 or 6 and a few other serious hiccups along the way.

                                                    The reality is, most people quit after round 1; Only those that are truly resilient and believe in themselves stick to it and refuse to accept failure.

                                                      So many people in today's society are overwhelmed with anxiety and insecurities that they hold back and never really reach their full potential. The fear of failure holds so many people back that they never strive for better things and accept status quo because its comfortable to them.

                                                      Almost 100% of successful business men have failed in one or more of their attempts at business before they hit it big. Think about that.

The fear of failure holds so many people back that they never strive for better things and accept status quo because its comfortable to them.

                                                                      Almost 100% of successful business men have failed in one or more of their attempts at business before they hit it big. Think about that.

William Wallace died 700 years ago and there is very little historical evidence of William Wallace remaining.
