Failure Does Not Mean I’m A Failure


Failure does not mean I’m a failure;
It does mean I have not yet succeeded.

Failure does not mean I have accomplished nothing;
It does mean I have learned something.

Failure does not mean I have been a fool;
It does mean I had enough faith to experiment.

Failure does not mean I have disgraced;
It does mean I have dared to try.

Failure does not mean I don’t have it;
It does mean I have something to do in a different way.

Failure does not mean I am inferior;
It does mean I am not perfect.

Failure does not mean I have wasted my life;
It does mean that I have an excuse to start over.

Failure does not mean that I should give up;
It does mean that I should try harder.

Failure does not mean that I will never make it;
It does mean that I need more practice.

Failure does not mean that You have abandoned me;
It does mean that You must have a better idea.

-Unknown

  • I often tell my students, "If you're not making any mistakes, you're not learning, you're coasting."

  • Failure means that we are all human and its okay to make mistakes along the way as long as we learn from those mistakes.

  • Very true. I like the part, "Faliure does not mean I have disgraced, It means I have dared to try." Failure is part of life, learn from your mistakes, GO RISK TAKERS!!!

  • Many times we fail and are afraid to try again. But with the thought, it tells us to always try again when ever we fail. Keep up with the good work.

  • Failure is only a badly defined opposite of success. Nobody fails. They only did not succeed...

    (and then, God still loves you!)

  • failiure is not permanant. Things will change with our effort in towards sucess. The only condition is to accept the reasons for the failiure
