Failure is only a temporary change in direction to set you straight for your next success.

  1. This quote to me expresses how there are always ups and downs no matter what . Life is not always perfect its what we do prior to making the mistakes. Wiether its going in the same negative route or taking a different one. Even though some mistakes that are made may even open up a bigger opportunity others might just prepare yu . Its mainly just the fact that you have to learn from your mistakes and take each an eveything into consideration. Also learning from your mistakes make you a wiser person in a long run. Thats what the quote meant to me .

  2. I believe this quote means that we all fail. When you fail it doesn't necessarily make you a failure. You have to fail to succeed. Life is like a slope, it goes up and down. You have to chose whether you are going to go down then up or just stay down. You grow from your failure. When you fail that gives you a chance to learn from your mistakes and correct them. ~MICHAEL BEARD~

  3. I believe that this quote means you have to fail. If you do not fail you will not succeed. If you fail it is a set back to you succeeding. If you do not fail you will not succeed. You must learn from your mistakes before you succeed.

  4. Personally I think this quote means whenever u dont excel at something its for u to work harder at something else. Life is going to have times where u fail or make mistakes but , you have to correct them. You have to keep an open mind for your next journey in life.Don't give up because your only proving to failure that it was right.You can achieve or do anything you want to with determination and motivation.If you just set your mind right and study that direction will turn into a big success . Dont let failure run your life .

  5. i believe this quote means that no matter what you do in life, you are going to experience some failures. But it is what you learn from those failures that help you succeed. One great idea is to recreate your failed obstacle and turn it into a working success so others can learn from it. There is an old quote that says, "if at first you don't succeed, try and try again." No one is perfect so no matter what, keep trying your hardest until you become great at what you do. I would never let my failures eat at me like a cancer. I would only do what all great researchers and thinkers have done in the past--keep moving forward! So I would hope everyone do the same. -Andrea Blue prd.3

  6. To me this quote is saying failing is not a bad thing at all. Everything isn't always going to be a complete success. However, you can not give up on yourself. Let the downfall be an incite to your following destination. If you fail and refrain from trying again, your most likely to absence your accomplishments. This quote is also declaring that, if I dont fall I wont know what getting up feels like. Failure is one step away from success if you want it to be.

  7. - What this quote means to me is basically everyone makes mistakes throughout their lives you'll just have to learn from them . By making mistakes it helps you in the long run so that you will never make the same mistake twice . No one is perfect so of course your gonna make some wrong decisions in life and that will only make you stronger . Sometimes you gotta fail at something first in order to succeed at it the next . Whenever you don't succeed at something it is your job to keep trying and push yourself further to get what you want accomplished . My mom always told me if I wanted to be good at something I had to work hard for it because nothing comes easy . Never be satisfied with failure . . .

  8. What I think this quote is saying is that we have to have trial in our life. After trial always comes ease because you learn from that trial you went through. Failure helps you stay on track because once you fail you can always get back up. Once you get back up, you can prove to yourself that you are stronger than before. This quote says a lot because in order to fail you have to want to be able to accomplish something so you got that far. I have always heard the saying "after difficulty comes ease". This statement goes along with everything you go through. How can you be a bigger person if you don't want to fail. Part of being a human is going through failure but if you want to stop going through failure, you are considered a quitter because not only have you quit trying, you can never get up to try again. Once you try again, you never know what the outcome could turn out to be.

  9. This quote means that sometimes you have to fail to succeed ! Noone is perfect..and we all make mistakes, but that doesnt mean we are failures! Its just means that we have to take a different route with certain things or situations to succeed or achieve the goals we want to achieve! Yes, Failure may seem hurtful, and sometimes even annoyed, but failure is actually a wake up call to many to do things differently so they can succeed, and also achieve your goals !

  10. What this quote means to me is you have to fail a few times in order to lead to perfection. You wont fail all your life, but you will if you dont put your effort into it. No one is perfect. If you dont make mistakes then you are not human. Everyone makes mistakes in life. In my opinion failing is not bad in certain situations because its only bettering you to work harder the next time. So dont be afraid to fail something. Progression before perfection.

  11. to me i think this is saying that you may have to fail to get on the right track.So when you do fail just take it as a wake up call.When you fail nine times out of ten you didnt study well or didnt do what you needed to do .So take the oppurtunity to do what you have and dont fail. Like the Bible says you can do all things things through Christ which strenthens you.So you dont have to fail.You can be an all A student . So take my world to the wise and always try your best.

  12. This quote means that you can have many ups and downs in your life but it's only because its preparing you to not make the wrong decision over and over again. You can fail many times in your life, but you will not fail your entire life, you will succeed at times but not all the times. Everybody isn't perfert they're just unique in their own way .

  13. I Think this quote means that you have to fail in order to suceed . Its a quote to show you that Sucess is only in the eye of the beholder . You have too want sucess to get it . But don't get angry when that sucess may lead too failure . All things happen for a reason . So you may hear that failure is not a option , but when your trying too suceed and you may fail a little its still hope for you .

  14. I believe this quote means that just because u fail doesn't mean you won't have success. When you fail that just makes you try harder to succeed. I always say if i fail at something I try again and again until I get it right. My mom always tells me that. When you fail that is just something to let you know something great is comeing your way. So if you fail keep your head up high and dream from the sky because anything is possible if you stay with it and try until you get it right. You can accomplish big things that way. - Da'Von L. T.

  15. After reading this quote thoroughly. I decided that this quote ment that you won't know how it feels to get back up if you don't fall. For example we also use this in basketball. For instance if you don't push yourself or make mistakes. You won't get better or even learn what it is you need to work on. So don't be affraid to make mistakes because, what can't hurt you can only make me stronger.

  16. I think this quote means we all have are times when we have that temporary change in our direction and we may feel like failures but failure is just a detour to sucess because where there is failure, sucess is right behind it. I also believe this quote means we all have to go through failure because it will better us for the rest of our lives. Also it we help us to comfort others when they feel like failures because we can help them by telling them about how its going to get better as life goes on. Also failure could help us learn that we are not doing what we are supposed to do because if we were we wouldnt be failing. Thats what i think this quote is about -richard wilford III-

  17. What this comment mean to me? It is saying that everytime you fail in something, you learn from your mistakes. And although you may have set backs in life and you feel as though you want to give up DON'T. Your set backs makes you remember what you wanted to achieve in life, as far as your goals in life. In my opinion, learning from your mistakes is the best advice someone could give. Reason being, it encourages you reminding you that its okay to move foward, and keep going. Whenever you mess up in life don't give up! Just try again, because in the long run its goin to benefit you for the better.

  18. To me this quote means that nothing is wrong with failure. To me failure makes you stronger and smarter. A person who has been around the block a few times doesn't really fall for a lot of things. Learning from your mistakes brings you enlightenment and change of heart, making you humble. Learning that failure without fixing a mistake makes you a real failure, is vital to helping other people who have failed but are not strong enough to get back up and keep going. Also failing many times makes such a sweet victory after you succeed. That what this qoute means to me.

  19. This quote expresses that even in times of faliure you should not look down.That your faliure is only a step forward in your life of success.Eventhough you may fall off you must hold stroung to your gouls.Keep your head straight your back stroung and never give up.When you fail you must take it and hold tightly to it don't try to work around ,or over it,but move through it!Learn from your faliure,shape it to make a more sucessful outcome.Change your gouls and directions for the better.Always look on the better side of things."What don't kill me can only make me strounger" Words from a unknown writer.

  21. I think this qoute is saying that in everything we do we are bound to make a mistake somewhere down the line. It just comes to show that no one is perfect , but everyone is human. If we don't make mistakes , or in this case fail , we will never know how to improve and make ourselves better. On this journey through life there will be plenty of times where we will fail , but all we can do is learn from our mistakes and keep moving forward towards our. For me , failure is never an option , consideration , or thought , but a reason to push harder. I see failure as a state of mind. if you say it , it shall be done.

  22. If failure occurs at least one will know to go back and try again. We all might fall down, but as we struggle to get up we can learn from our mistakes. Throughout my elementary years I might have made some minor mistakes. Learning from my failures can only lead me to success. In my family failure is not an option. It is understood that no one is perfect, but a failure is someone that does not even try. The road that leads to success from failure is because learning that failure is just not an option. So what i'm trying to say is if you fall just get back.

  23. To me, I think this qoute means, life is full of unexpectant changes and challenges. You never know what is going to happen. For example, when you get a bad grade on a test. That doesnt mean that it's the end of the world. It only means that you need to try harder, and learn from your mistakes. Really, it's encouraging you to do better, and leading you in the right path. So, the next time you don't do good on somethimg, just think of it as a lesson learned to keep moving forward, and don't give up.

  25. Basically what this quote is trying to express is, with every learned lesson comes hard studying and dedication! If life throws you a test and yuh just so happen not to pass, you have to study again. In order to go forward you must be knocked back a few steps. If your dedication level to be successful isn't set high enough(according to your standards) then you're only cheating yourself! Like the qoute states,"Failure is a change to set you for success." In my life failure is not an option! If it pops up as an obstacle; i will simply push past it until im satisfied with my results. What doesnt destroy you will only make you want to push harder for the next go 'round !

  26. After reading the quote carefully, I realized what it meant. This quote means that failure is a lesson to help you to succeed. You can't go throughout life without failing. Everyone does it at one point or another. When you fail, you have the opportunity of fixing your mistakes. You learn what to do and what not to do for the next time you try. Failure gives you a lesson on how to succeed in the best way possible.

  27. I believe this quote is saying that everyone makes mistake but you have to learn from them also. I live by the saying "Never regret anything just look at my mistake as lesson learned." I think this is what this quote saying because never accept failure and live with it because you learn what not to do the next time. You should always live by your decisions even if they are horrible , because that's what make you stronger. I mean everyone fails some point in their life. You just have to look at the negative and turn it into a positive. Thats what I think that quote means.

  29. This quote means never let a down fall predicts the rest of your opportunities in life. Throughout life we all have to fail, only to realize how strong every one of us really are. Life will be full of ups and downs. No matter how much we want that to change. The good thing that we can change is to learn from our mistakes and accept them. We will never know when that will happen but we will know to be ready. As one my personal quotes go "Expect the unexpected" never are afraid to fall, because success may just be around the corner.

  30. This quote means failure is a part of life you have to go through. Failure doesn't last but you have to know what is feels like to know what success feels like. Failure will make you stronger and lead you to your success. No one can fail or succeed all the time. It just isn't possible. I think this quote is somehow saying failure is a humbler. It brings you back to center. It focuses your mind so you are determined to succeed next time.

  32. To me this quote means that nobody is perfect. So therefore, that means everyone will make mistakes. But when you make mistakes, you know what not to do. Basically I'm saying don't make the same mistake twice. Learn from your mistakes and try it again. Don't ever stop trying cause when you stop trying that's when you fail again. But if you try and learn from your mistakes, you will get better.

  34. What this quote means to me is that you learn from your mistakes. Alot of times that we fail its because we have done something wrong that we wasnt aware of or didn't follow someones advice. But as we go on in life the more we learn and experience things, we begin to succeed. A wise man once said wisdom comes from experience. Failure is only temporary and its your choice how long it stays apart of your life. The root word of fail is fall and when you fall down don't you get up? Its the same thing when you fail at doing something you don't have to stay there just get up and get back on the right path. Its your life make a decision to succeed!

  35. I believe this quote means if you don't ever fail, you can never suceed. Without failure in life there is no such thing as success. You can't triumph over anything without there being an obsticale. You can't win without experiencing defeat. This quote is saying you can't just recieve what you want, you have to earn it. This is simply saying that success takes time.

  37. This quote means that you have to fail in order to succeed. This has an very strong meaning, and makes me think about alot more things in a positive way. Never be afraid to lose or fail in something. I say this because without failing or losing you will never know the right thing to do for the next time. I personally don't look to failing in a negative way, because in order to be good you have to make mistakes. Failure is apart of life! You just need to learn how to make an impact or something positive out of it.

  38. I Think That This Quote Means That Just Because You Failed Once , That Doesn't Mean That Its The End Of The Road . It Means That You Just Need To Attempt Again . Keep In Mind That Perserverance Is The Key To Every Accomplished Thing . If You Only Try Once Then How Will You Know That Your Able to Do It . Remember Failure Is Only A Figment Of Yor Imagination , That Is Real Only If You Make It Real .Therefore Keep Trying And Succeed Don't Give Up .

  39. I think this quote mean that everyone fails. It is up to us to decide to learn from that failure. Failure happens to everyone, but you can't let that dictate whether you shouldn't try or not. If you fail that just lets you know what not to do next time. The people who make the most mistakes are usually the people who learn the most. Failure is a part of life so learn from it and keep moving foward. Some of the greatest successes in world have started with failure. You will have countless failures in life and learn from all of them. -Joshua Bishop:1st period

  40. This quote is saying that failure does not last forever. Everyone makes mistakes and you should not be afraid to make mistakes. In a way, failing makes you stronger because it makes you even more determined to succeed. You shouldn't give up every time you fail, instead you should be learning from your mistakes. Your mistakes prepare you for the future. Everyone has their downfalls but you have to get up. If you don't even try, then you will continue to fail.

  41. I believe that this quote is saying that everyone fails because nobody is perfect and you can’t help that. But what you can do is realize that there is a reason why you failed today, which is to lead you to a brighter tomorrow. And when you do fail remember it’s not over because failure is not forever just like today isn’t so get up after failure and try again just like waking up the next morning, and if you fail again don’t give up just keep trying until you get it right because with failure you learn from your mistakes and learn how to fix them most importantly. And without failure you wouldn’t be able to succeed because you wouldn’t know right from wrong and what not to do in order to get there, because with every mistake/failure comes a valuable life lesson. So don’t be afraid to fail because the greatest barrier to success is the fear of failure, so the only thing that would be stopping you from succeeding would be yourself and your fear. Because the only real failure in life is the failure of not trying. And if you didn’t fail you wouldn’t be able to handle a bad situation because you wouldn’t know how to handle them because you wouldn’t have the strength that failure brings. So with that being said fail today and fail tomorrow because it won’t last long, but it will bring along many great things, so don’t be afraid!

  42. This quote to me means that every person will fail at one point of time,and the failure only makes you stronger.On the path to success their will always be obstacles in the way and you just have to find away around them.For example,most of famous musicians that we look up too just didn't make it over night.They experienced people that told them they wasn't good or not going to be anything,but they didn't let that stop them.They kept pushing theirselves because they didn't let that failure stop them from succeeding.

All your failures will sooner or later make your sucess better .

  44. I had to read the quote a few times before understanding what it meant to me. This quote is just saying before you are successful you must fail. Failure isn't a bad thing it is just teaching you what you did wrong in order for you to better next time. Failure also helps you relize what you are doing wrong. If you never fail then how do you expect to be successful. Everyone fails a few times when they are trying to complete a task, you just have to relize what it is and try to do better. So when you do fail don't give up just keep trying.

  45. I just talked about this same theme at church today. What I think it means is that failure can always lead to having a successful life. Everyone is going to fail in some part of life. For example, Chuck Weiler the man who made KFC was denied 99 times for his recipe on the 100 th time it was a yes to his recipe. He didn't give up on anything even when he failed 99 times. Have faith and get back up after you fail because the very next time be better an succed at what you do. Failure does not last long.

  46. This quote has a strong meaning to it. Basically what the quote is saying just because you failed dont mean completely give up. Dont settle for failure. This quote relates to the saying "Minor Setback for a Major comeback." For an example, just because you may have failed a test doesn't mean give up. Keep trying till you suceed. Use failure as motivation to comeback stronger next time. Dont never settle for less.

  48. I think that this quote means that everybody fails in life at least ones but that do not mean that you are an failure. Failure is not always an bad thing as long as you learn from it. I think after failing it make you try harder to succeed the next time around.I think to succeed in life you need to fail sometimes.I think when you fail it make you work harder to succeed in life. For example, when you fail an test it make you work harder to pass it the next time.

  49. To me basically this quote means that all failures are there so you can learn from them. Even though you go left , your failure has the power to set you straight to go right. No failure is ever pointless. Everyone makes mistakes that you have to learn from. Even though you may fail , you didnt fail completely because you can get any and everything out of a failure. Even though you might think your failure is bad and you wont get anything out of it , someone else may say its a lesson learned. Your failure may help someone else in their time of trouble.

  50. I think this quote is saying that it takes time to succeed. Over time you have to try and that means you have to fail. Just because you failed does not mean you need to completely give up. This only means you need to try harder to accomplish your goal. I also think this quote is saying that it takes time and more than one attempt to succeed. Everybody fails its apart of life. Sometimes that might not be the thing for you so your failure can lead you onto the path to your success!

You should never give in and always stand back up when you fall. When i first read this quote the first thing i thought of was everything happens for a reason. Everyone should believe that obstacles get in your way so that success could be in your future. Successful people always grow up to tell their stories that they once failed too.

Without "trial and error" most man-made inventions would'nt exist today. Everyone fails eventually...It's actually impossible not to fail. When you fail, it just means that you can eventually succeed. You just have to put you heart and mind into it.

  56. I THINK THIS QUOTE IS TELLING YOU NOT TO BE AFRAID OF TRYING ANYTHING. IF YOU TRY AND DONT'T SUCEED, YOU SHOULD USE THIS FAILURE AS A PUSH TO TRY HARDER. I BELIEVE THIS QUOTE IS ENCOURAGING YOU TO GO FOR ANYTHING IN YOUR LIFE UNTIL YOU RECEIVE POSTIVE RESULTS. I ALSO THINK THAT FAILURE IS ONLY A MINOR SETBACK TO A BLESSING. WHEN YOU RECEIVE THAT BLESSING YOU CAN TELL OTHERS WHO ARE FAILING, THEN THEY WILL BE ENCOURAGED.

  57. i think this quote has a simple but powerful meaning. To me this quote means you fail only to get better and you learn from your mistakes. Failing could also be God's way of saying wrong direction. Without failing how would you be able to succeed? In many ways failure can be looked at as a way to strengthens ones self and to test your desire to achieve you goal(s). Without failure succeeding is impossible. Failing is a minor setback for a major comeback.

  58. I believe this quote means that once you fail there is always something better coming your way. Basically this is saying that when a door closes a better one opens. Nothing is going to be perfect,life is full of mistakes and failures and they teach you to do better the next time. Once you look back at your failures you'll realize that you've made it this far and the failure has done some good. Once you make a mistake, all you have to do is get back up and keep it moving and try again next time. Mistakes are apart of life. Failing is not the answer, getting up and trying to correct it is what you have to do.
