"Do the one thing you think you..." - Quote by Oprah Winfrey
Do the one thing you think you cannot do. Fail at it. Try again. Do better the second time. The only people who never tumble are those who never mount the high wire. This is your moment. Own it.

More on Courage
“I want to go on living even after my death! And therefore I am grateful to God for this gift, this possibility of developing myself and of writing, of expressing all that is in me. I can shake off everything if I write; my sorrows disappear; my courage is reborn. But, and that is the great question, will I ever be able to write anything great, will I ever become a journalist or a writer?”
“I understand by 'freedom of spirit' something quite definite - the unconditional will to say No, where it is dangerous to say No.”
“You will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor.”
More on Failure
“I can afford to take a risk in my life. Only the insecure cannot afford to risk failure. The secure can be honest about themselves. They can admit failure. They are able to seek help and try again. They can change”
“To double your successes, you might have to double your failure rate.”
“I failed my way to success.”
