| We are taught it's not good to fail. Failure is taboo. What we don't realize is EVERY successful person has failed, bar none. And usually, the more successful the person is, the more they have also failed. RockandRollah saw me fail with sets while he was here. He also saw me succeed with sets. Failure is ok. It's to be learned from. Edison is said to have failed over 10,000 times . . . with just ONE invention. Do you think, even if in your wildest dreams, that you could possibly fail 10,000 times on your approach? Even if you did, how many women are in this world? Approximately 150 billion or so, right? Come on, let's put this in perspective here | |

| Failure is bittersweet, its like.... chewing on aspirin or a vitamin. Tastes like yuck, yet its good for you, it helps you. I doubt anyone ENJOYS failure, but when I fail I squash the negative feelings and look at the failure to find ways to improve.
I've always been taught, to expect to fail in certain areas in life, theres nothing wrong with it unless I make an honest effort to learn from it, and improve on it. | |
