"When I was young, I observed that..." - Quote by George Bernard Shaw
When I was young, I observed that nine out of ten things I did were failures. So I did ten times more work.

More on Failure
“Failure is the foundation of success: success is the lurking place of failure.”
“Most of us go through life as failures, because we are waiting for the 'time to be right' to start doing something worthwhile. Do not wait. The time will never be 'just right.' Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.”
“My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure.”
More on Success
“The best way to serve the individuals on the team is to see that the whole team wins.”
“Money, success, and the external trappings have chased after me wherever I have gone. These things show up in my life, and I just keep passing them on. I don't hang onto them myself at all. I have very few needs like that.”
“A man can only rise, conquer, and achieve by lifting up his thoughts.”
