FAILURE BUILDS RESILIENCE
Resilience is our ability to adapt positively to obstacles, such as failure.
Every time youre faced with an obstacle you have an opportunity to practice your response to it.
The better our response to failure, the less we fear it.

“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” Thomas Edison
