Perseverance is failing 19 times and succeeding the 20th.

One who fails has not failed absolutely, rather they have learned absolutely

Perseverance is failing 19 times and succeeding the 20th.

My mother and stepfather were in Vaudeville. And my stepfather was an alcoholic. It was a lot of roller coaster times. But it's all I knew. I think they did the best they could under the circumstances, with me and all the family.

I just wanted to step back and watch these young women celebrate; celebrate perseverance and that's really what they did, they persevered.

Failing doesn't have to mean not succeeding. It can be, 'Hey we tried that. We can go forward, smarter.'
