If you have made mistakes, there is always another chance for you. You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call 'failure' is not the falling down, but the staying down.

You are most welcome Eyja...........glad you found some good out of this thread.  Here is another favorite of mine.
 
Events will take their course, it is no good of being angry at them; he is happiest who wisely turns them to the best account.

Thanks Duffis, for sleuthing out and sharing this quote. It is a perspective that had not occurred to me.  But it's true   All of my own perceived 'failures' have taken work, time, energy and thought - and consequently, I've learned and grown as a person from them. Even when bitter sweet. I appreciate your time and knowledge shared here : )   from Eyja

Failure after long perseverance is much grander than never to have a striving good enough to be called a failure.

Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing.

Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead.

How very true Pen.
 
Do not read, as children do, to amuse yourself, or like the ambitious, for the purpose of instruction. No, read in order to live.
