Un biscuit, ça na pas de Spirit.
A biscuit doesn’t have any Spirit.
Jean Claude Van Damme (Love that quote, works in French and in English)
Being an incorrigible pessimist, I gathered up some quotes to “cheer up” despite the “inevitable” FAILURE, that I “know”, will show up in tomorrow’s results: 01. Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm. Winston Churchill 02. Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. Winston Churchill 03. Success depends upon previous preparation, and without such preparation there is sure to be failure. Confucius 04. I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying. Michael Jordan 05. Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything - all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Steve Jobs 06. There is no such thing as failure. There are only results. Tony Robbins 07. Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed on an equal or greater benefit. Napoleon Hill 08. No man ever achieved worth-while success who did not, at one time or other, find himself with at least one foot hanging well over the brink of failure. Napoleon Hill 09. Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success. Dale Carnegie 10. I honestly think it is better to be a failure at something you love than to be a success at something you hate. George Burns 11. Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently. Henry Ford 12. Failure is not a single, cataclysmic event. You don’t fail overnight. Instead, failure is a few errors in judgement, repeated every day. Jim Rohn 13. Success is never final, failure is never fatal. It’s the courage that counts. John Wooden

Good quotes here, the kind I expected from such a group of people. I’ve never read this without it impacting me. “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” Theodore Roosevelt quotes (American 26th US President (1901-09), 1858-1919)
This terrifies the shit out of me constantly, it may just be the single largest motivation in my life. It’s not death that scares me it’s this concept although I’ve always thought of it in different words, in not making the most of what I’ve been given. Whose quote is it?
I eat therefore i am.
