“Nothing makes a person desire improvement like failure”
“It is failure that guides evolution; perfection provides no incentive for improvement, and nothing is perfect.”
“There's nothing like failure and humiliation to make you teachable.”
“I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve (or save) the world and a desire to enjoy (or savor) the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.”
“Failure is good, failure is necessary, failure stimulates a desire for success.”
“Nothing makes you get down on yourself and worry that you’re undesirable like rejection, so having someone desirable desire you is the ultimate antidote.”
