Fall Forward
From Denzel Washington, Oscar Winner
If you don't fail, you're not even trying... To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did... Every failed experiment is one step closer to success. You've got to take risks... First you will fail at some point in your life. Accept it. You will lose. You will embarrass yourself. You will suck at something. There is no doubt about it....
...I didn't get that job. But here's the thing. I didn't quit. I didn't fall back. I walked out of there to prepare for the next audition and the next. I prayed. And I prayed. But I continued to fail and fail and fail. But it didn't matter because you know what? There's an old saying- 'If you hang around the barber shop long enough sooner or later you're going to get a haircut'. So you will catch a break. I did catch a break...
