Sometimes adversity is what you need to face in order to become successful.

If you learn from defeat, you haven't really lost.

Other people and things can stop you temporarily. You are the only one who can do it permanently.

Getting knocked down in life is a given; getting up and moving forward is a choice.

No matter what advantages you are born with-- money, intelligence, an appealing personality, a sunny outlook, or good social connections-- none of these provides a magic key to an easy existence. Somehow life manages to bring difficult problems, the causes of untold suffering and struggle. How you meet your challenges makes all the difference between the promise of success and the specter of failure.

Self-knowledge is an anchor that makes unpredictability tolerable.

Failing forward is the ability to get back up after you've been knocked down, learn from your mistake, and move forward in a better direction.

There are two kinds of stones, as everyone knows, one of which rolls.

It is in falling down that we learn almost everything that matters spiritually.

I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has had to overcome while trying to succeed.

Face the giants in your life, slay them, and move on. Do not be daunted by the mistakes and failures in your life.

When life puts you through a tumbler, it's your choice whether you come out polished or crushed.
