The best of us are all failures.

J.M. Barrie

This right here is my favourite quote, and it comes from the author of Peter Pan James Matthew Barrie.

To me it’s all about picking yourself up when you’re down, and a constant reminder on how we learn by failing. Every time you fail, you need to try again. It’s the people who don’t stop trying that make it to the top. Failure does not define a person, it helps them to grow, to develop and to discover who they are.

P.S. I just Googled this quote to make sure that I was crediting the correct person and discovered that the full quote is in fact “We are all failures – at least the best of us are.” It’s not quite as catchy but the sentiment is the same so I stand by my decision!
