Failure does not count. If you accept this, you'll be successful. What causes most people to fail is that after one failure, they'll stop trying.
- Frank Burford


How many times have we heard ourselves or someone else not wish to do something because of a related negative association that happened once

this reminds me how a kind word at the right time to someone, or a pat on the back is so helpful in helping someone move forward.

Some men have thousands of reasons why they cannot do what they want to, when all they need is one reason why they can.

Like a fish swimming upstream, I'd like to be the one going with the positive majority..with the flow.

Failures are finger posts on the road to achievement.
- Charles F. Kettering


 
Investment professionals see economic failures as "system corrections" so there aren't mass panics.  Software engineers see computer failures as "abends". 
 
How would we change our language as positively as above to transform our lives

Hans should have added the other two also. Perception and belief.
How you look at a poor situation dictates whether it will be negative or positive. Attitude only dictates whether you will. Belief dictates whether you will accept it as positive instead of negative. The three work together.

Failure is an event, never a person.

Old events, like old newpapers should just be tossed.  I don't have any use for them.

Pretty close. Positive breeds positive but like all computers of any worth the mind opens with the last used or stored item, both for convenience and speed. Just like your computer. So yes garbage in garbage available for use first. And like your computer, you have to delete it and open something else positive. (if you are not so negative you can't or you computer has nothing but garbage in it.) (clean the cache, get rid of the garbage in your mind, it is clogging your capacity making you slow)
Make sense?

I've always believed that you can think positive just as well as you can think negative.
- Sugar Ray Robinson

What difference would it make to the mind?  Like a computer, it just follows directions, so it's garbage in garbage out or postive in and great benefits out
