Michael Mullen Quotes

Failure is an indispensable prerequisite of success. It is how you learn the lessons you need.

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 will never stand int he way of success if you learn from it.

There is a distinction between failing and being a failure. Few things are learned in life without failing at least once. Did you learn to roller skate without falling a few times? Did you learn to ride a bike without losing your balance? Chances are you didn't. You may have wanted to do those things so intensely that you quickly put unsuccessful attempts behind you and kept trying. Soon you acquired the skill to do the thing you wanted. Even though in the process of learning you may have failed many times, you were not a failure. "Failing" simply became an open door to try again.

Failure means you've now learned another valuable lesson that pushes you one step closer to success.

It is a mistake to suppose that men succeed through success; they much oftener succeed through failures. Precept, study, advice, and example could never have taught them so well as failure has done.

There is a huge difference between failing and failure. Failing is trying something that you learn doesn't work. Failure is throwing in the towel and giving up. True success comes from failing repeatedly and as quickly as possible, before your cash or your willpower runs out.

For me, failure is not a bad thing because it teaches you how to succeed.

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

We get very little wisdom from success, you know.

Many people dream of success. To me, success can only be achieved through repeated failure and introspection.

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

Mistakes in life teach you how to succeed because you want to try again and do it better.

Would rather learn from failures I'm proud of than take pride in success I don't believe in.

We seem to gain wisdom more readily through our failures than through our successes. We always think of failure as the antithesis of success, but it isn't. Success often lies just the other side of failure.

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.

If a man didn't make mistakes he'd own the world in a month.But if he didn't profit by his mistakes he wouldn't own a blessed thing.

People learn from failure or from lack of success.

One way to learn to do something right is to do something wrong. Failure must teach us, or surely success will not reward us.

Mistakes are the stepping stones to success.

We are able to learn from a failure, but perhaps not much from a success!

Learn from the negative as well as the positive, from the failures as well as the successes.

Failure is a part of success. There is no such thing as a bed of roses all your life. But failure will never stand in the way of success if you learn from it.

I like challenges and I don't believe in failure. I don't believe in regrets. I believe suffering, failure - all those concepts - are things that are absolutely necessary to make us the best people that we can be, the best at whatever we want to do.

Every time you fail, you learn more.
