"Your achievement can be no greater than your PLANS are sound."
I love this statement. Its so true. And it follows from this, that:
"Temporary defeat should mean only one thing, the certain knowledge that there is something wrong with your plan."
It is fascinating to strip away all the emotions and stigma of "failure" and reduce it down to that one statement.
Because there is no such thing as failure, if you keep going. Persistence turns "failure" into temporary defeat.
And there is no need to let failure become an indictment of your entire personality, which some people let it become. It just means that your plans are not quite right. If your plans don't work the first time, change them, and try again. If it doesn't work this time, change them again, and keep trying.
