About this Quote

This quote by George Eliot talks to the concept that failure must not be feared, however rather embraced as a knowing experience. Failure is not an end, however rather a start. It is an opportunity to reassess and refocus on the objective. The only failure that ought to be feared is the failure to remain real to one's function. This is due to the fact that when we give up on our function, we quit on ourselves. We need to remain steadfast in our convictions and never give up on our dreams. We need to have the guts to take threats and gain from our errors. By doing so, we can attain our goals and live a life of function and fulfillment.
