"We are all of us failures, at least, the best of us are"
- James M. Barrie
About this Quote
This quote by James M. Barrie talks to the idea that no one is ideal. We all make errors and have defects, and that is fine. It is very important to recognize our imperfections and utilize them as an opportunity to learn and grow. The very best people are those who are able to accept their failures and use them as a chance to progress. It is important to keep in mind that failure is not completion, however rather a stepping stone to success. We need to not hesitate to take threats and make mistakes, as it becomes part of the knowing procedure. By accepting our failures, we can end up being the best variations of ourselves.
"Don't lower your expectations to meet your performance. Raise your level of performance to meet your expectations. Expect the best of yourself, and then do what is necessary to make it a reality"
"The man who makes everything that leads to happiness depends upon himself, and not upon other men, has adopted the very best plan for living happily. This is the man of moderation, the man of manly character and of wisdom"
