“It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.”
This quote kinds of speaks for itself, but to me it represents the notion of no success will ever be reached without failure along the way. In addition, being timid or afraid to take chances in your life may allow you to avoid failure but it also ensures that you will avoid success. YP’s understand that mistakes and miscues are all apart of your journey on your way to success and they are a necessary evil that allow you to really see what you’re made of and if you have what it takes to learn and overcome those mistakes and miscues to reach your maximum potential.
