It is no use saying, `We are doing our best.` You have got to succeed in doing what is necessary. - Winston Churchill

There are more than a few politicians today who need to tape this quote to their bathroom mirror so they see it every morning.

Today`s theme, mistakes and failure.

I particularly like Mr. Honda`s quote. My wife`s probably tired of hearing it every time a new product test didn`t turn out the way she had hoped.

The man who never makes a mistake always takes orders from one who does.
– Daisy Bates

Success seems to be connected with action. Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don`t quit.
- Conrad Hilton

Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.
- Winston Churchill

To me success can only be achieved through repeated failure and introspection. In fact, success represents 1% of your work that results from the 99% that is called failure.
- Soichiro Honda

An error is not a mistake until you refuse to correct it.
- Unknown

Completely agree! And than kyou Eric for the kind words! If it weren`t for the wisdom of others...I would have quit long ago! I find so much motivation through the voice of those who have succeeded before me!

In keeping with your theme:

It`s not whether you get knocked down, it`s whether you get back up. - Vincent T. Lombardi

There is no security on this earth; there is only opportunity. - Douglas MacArthur

What would you do if you knew you could not fail? - Gloria Vanderbilt

A pessimist is one who sees difficulties in his opportunities. An optimist is one who sees opportunities despite the difficulties - Harry S Truman

Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure...than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.  ~Theodore Roosevelt

“I have not failed. I just found 10,000 ways that won`t work.” -- Thomas A. Edison

True hope dwells on the possible, even when life seems to be a plot written by someone who wants to see how much adversity we can overcome.

I find this quote from Dalai Lama inspiring "Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck."
