Pierre Omidyar Quotes

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.

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

Every time you quit, someone else gets your prize. Every time you make a mistake, you get closer to yours.

If you're having trouble succeeding, fail.

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

All great success is preceded by failure.

No matter what one does, regardless of failure or success, the experience is a form of success in itself.

If you can look at your failure and answer yes to the questions, "Did I give it my absolute best effort?" and "Have I learned something valuable?" then you have failed in the right way. By these standards, I've failed many times in my career. But every failure has made me stronger and wiser. Inevitably, success has always followed.

What the world calls failure, I call learning.

I make plenty of mistakes and I'll make plenty more mistakes, too. That's part of the game. You've just got to make sure that the right things overcome the wrong ones.

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

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.

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.

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

We try, and we try, and we fail; and then we go deeper.

Successful people fail often, and, worth noting, learn more from that failure than everyone else.

You learn as much from failure as from success, Dad always says. Though no one admires you for it.

Failure is not to be feared. It is from failure that most growth comes.

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.

99 percent of success is built on failure.

That’s what learning is, after all; not whether we lose the game, but how we lose and how we’ve changed because of it, and what we take away from it that we never had before, to apply to other games. Losing, in a curious way is winning.

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

As you step every day and we're going to see challenges, we going to see failures, we should certainly learn from the failures and be gracious with our successes too as well.

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.
