"Famous Failures"
I'd like to share with you some famous failures.
Let us not be afraid of failures, but instead be grateful that now we know what to do better next time. Believe me, it is NOT the last thing you will do! Keep on keeping on. Both the winner and the loser fail. The winner is the one that gets back up and tries again.
