Failure is the stepping stone to success, as long as you learn from it. Focus on the actions needed to be taken and fail fast so that you learn what not to do. Failure shows that you are trying, it is so easy to just remain in the ‘easy zone’ just getting by living life without taking any action, but that is not how we grow as individuals. May these quotes inspire you to take fearless action and not be afraid of failure but embrace it with joy so that you may prosper.

Hello Mr. Asad,
I’m Zehra. I think everything happens in our lives behind a specific reason either it is good or bad but it is temporary. It’s give us a lesson which change our life in different perspective. I’m not attempt any big failure in my life because I’m not so much old but I received small failures, afterward I faced them. Personally I realize that my life going toward the little success but success. I’m very thankful for you as by sharing your point of view according toward failure. And I hope many people would inspire by these quotes of failure just like me. Keep it up.

Hi Rida,
Yes, indeed, failure is temporary and it is not really failure
I prefer to use the term feedback – it just shows us what areas we need to improve upon within ourselves
I am glad this website has had a positive impact on your life

Thank you for these quotes. My car was towed away this morning. I am trying to hold it together, but my failures were beginning to get the better of me. I guess I am a slow learner, and failure is a mean teacher.

So true Ram. Failure is essential to success, failure is what helps us grow. Failure is good, it shows that we are trying, rather than sitting around being timid.

Glad you enjoyed the article Matthew. Many people are unaware that failure is a part of success, so it is important that we take action no matter the outcome. Either we succeed or we learn. #BeFearless
