Success and Failure... there isn't really much difference.

If at first you don't succeed... so much for skydiving.

 Henny Youngman

On the 10th December, this was one of the quotes of the day that flashed up on my news feed, and, because I liked it, I thought I would share it. There are so many quotes that start in the same way, for example: 

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. There's no point in being a damn fool about it.                                                                                                             

  W. C. Fields

I've failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.

Michael Jordan

And then there is my favourite one

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. There's no point in being a damn fool about it.

W. C. Fields

Now it could be argued that some of these quotes are demoralising, and maybe they are. But there is something about them which makes them so fantastic to read and they make you realise that failing isn't so bad after all. Please, don't take this the wrong way and fail all your exams. That's not what I mean. Failing means we learn a valuable lesson. I now know a lot of random facts from failing at Pub Quiz's, but maybe in the long run, I will need the facts again and I'll be able to succeed. 

I'm going to leave you with a random question which I was once asked, and please send me your ideas on the answer, the more the better. 

If you attempt to fail and succeed, what have you done? 

Thank you
