Failure is instructive

“If you’re going to define me properly, you must think in terms of my failures as well as my successes.”     Harrison Ford

“The important thing to recognize is that it takes a team, and the team ought to get credit for the wins and the losses. Successes have many fathers, failures have none.”     Philip Caldwell

“If I had permitted my failures, or what seemed to me at the time a lack of success, to discourage me I cannot see any way in which I would ever have made progress.”     (John) Calvin Coolidge

“A failure establishes only this, that our determination to succeed was not strong enough.”     John Christian Bovee

“Life is made up of small pleasures. Happiness is made up of those tiny successes. The big ones come too infrequently. And if you don’t collect all these tiny successes, the big ones don’t really mean anything.”     Norman Lear
