Denis Waitley
  • Mistakes are painful when they happen, but years later a collection of mistakes is what is called experience.

  • Never become so much of an expert that you stop gaining expertise. View life as a continuous learning experience.

  • Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.

  • To establish true self-esteem we must concentrate on our successes and forget about the failures and the negatives in our lives.

  • Forget about the consequences of failure. Failure is only a temporary change in direction to set you straight for your next success.
