QUOTE : Failure makes things interesting. Before failure, the path to victory seems so clear. So simple. Maybe not easy, but simple. After failure, we get creative. Failure makes us more aware of our weaknesses. It clarifies our obstacles. It reminds us to keep our heads in the game to the very end because success is never a guarantee—no matter how close it seems. And it reminds us how serious we’re going to have to be if we’re going to finish first.
