Alberto Giacometti Quotes

All great success is preceded by failure.

99 percent of success is built on failure.

Whatever we succeed in doing is a transformation of something we have failed to do. Thus, when we fail, it is only because we have given up.

If at first you don't succeed-try, try again. Don't think of it as failure. Think of it as timed-release success.

Failure is not the opposite of success; it's part of success.

Success is never ending, failure is never final.

If success were easy, then it would not necessarily be true success. Some of history's most successful people learned to cope with failure as a natural offshoot of the experimental and creative process and often learned more from their failures than their successes. By taking the attitude that failure is merely a detour on the way to our destination, hope can blossom into success.

Fall forward. Here's what I mean: Reggie Jackson struck out 2,600 times in his career - the most in the history of baseball. But you don't hear about the strikeouts. People remember the home runs. Fall forward. Thomas Edison conducted 1,000 failed experiments. Did you know that? I didn't either - because number 1,001 was the light bulb. Fall forward. Every failed experiment is one step closer to success.

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

Failure in life does not matter; the greatest misfortune is standing still.

You are fortunate if you have learned the difference between temporary defeat and failure, more fortunate still if you have learned the truth that the very seed of success is dormant in every defeat that you experience.

I want to find people who have had to work hard and who have learned from their failures. Perseverance is no guarantee you’ll succeed, but without it, it’s almost guaranteed you won’t.

Take risks. Fail. Pick yourself back up again. And always, always remember this: there is no adversity capable of stopping you once the choice to persevere is made.

The person who fails the most wins.

Never give up! Failure and rejection are only the first step to succeeding.
