Failure should drive into action, not depression.

Remember: If you're not experiencing failure, you're not working hard enough!

No matter what: In good times and bad, successes and failures, good health and sickness - we must learn to appreciate the blessings that life brings. Embrace each new day. Hold fast! Life only happens once!
