Churchill on Failure

June 8th, 2010 - by Robby Slaughter

Things have been a little quiet around the Failure the Book Blog lately, because we’ve been busy with other work. So we’re back, with an inspiring thought from Winston Churchill.

Winston Churchill failure quote

Here’s the quote:

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts.

These words fit nicely with another Churchill saying, which actually made it in to Failure:

Courage is going from failure to failure without a loss of enthusiasm.

We should be reminded that our most successful leaders were not people who always succeeded but those who always tried again. The great secret to success the endurance brought on by making mistakes.
