And what saved me is realizing that I couldn’t do that very well Picture Quote #1

The opposite of success is not failure. Unsuccessful efforts are not failures unless they so discourage you that you abandon further efforts to achieve your goal. Even then, the venture or effort may be a failure but you are not. Failure is an event not a character trait Picture Quote #1
