Failure is the opportunity to begin again more intelligently.

About this quote

Failure becomes useful when it is treated as information for a better second attempt.

When to use it

  • When planning the next month, review one failed result, name the cause, and change the method before retrying.
  • Use the same principle on one difficult subject: review one failed result, name the cause, and change the method before retrying, then note what changed.
  • Try it with a classmate or study group: review one failed result, name the cause, and change the method before retrying, and compare the result at the end of the week.
