Laurence J. Peter Quotes

My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure.

I feel that the most important requirement in success is learning to overcome failure. You must learn to tolerate it, but never accept it

What people call success is only preparation for the next failure.

From success, you learn absolutely nothing. From failure and setbacks conclusions can be drawn. That goes for your private life as well as your career.

Failure doesn't mean you are a failure it just means you haven't succeeded yet.

Most great people have attained their greatest success just one step beyond their greatest failure.

Too often we just look at these glistening successes. Behind them in many, many cases is failure along the way, and that doesn't get put into the Wikipedia story or the bio. Yet those failures teach you every bit as much as the successes.

Every mistake that you make, or every thing that you might regret, you don't need to necessarily regret it, because it can be a step forward.

Success is a lousy teacher, but failure is a friend, philosopher, and guide.

Perhaps the most important thing I could say is to never be thrown by failure and mistakes. Each and everything that happens, even if it was not what you hoped would happen, is a valuable, life-learning tool. And you will only achieve success if you know how to learn from your failures and mistakes. It’s vital.
