“The fastest way to succeed is to look as if you're playing by somebody else's rules, while quietly playing by your own.”

The freedom to fail is vital if you're going to succeed. Most successful people fail from time to time, and it is a measure of their strength that failure merely propels them into some new attempt at success.
This is true enough, but success is the next best thing to happiness, and if you can't be happy as a success, it's very unlikely that you would find a deeper, truer happiness in failure.
Never walk away from failure. On the contrary, study it carefully and imaginatively for its hidden assets.
One way to keep momentum going is to have constantly greater goals.
