DEFEAT

Defeat is a state of mind; no one is ever defeated until defeat has been accepted as a reality. To me, defeat in anything is merely temporary, and it's punishment is but an urge for me to exert greater effort to achieve my goal. Defeat simply tells me that something is wrong in my doing; it is a path leading to success and truth. (Bruce Lee)

Those are wise words. I would like to add a thought of my own. I do not believe in FAILURE! I believe it is all FEEDBACK! When what we are attempting to accomplish does not work, we can learn from the experience. Thomas Edison had over 1000 attempts at creating the light bulb before he succeeded. He says the attempts were not failures, rather he now knew of over 1000 ways that don't work. 
NO SUCH THING AS FAILURE, ONLY FEEDBACK
