This quotes really has a personal connection to me because the people that I live with everyday at school are so fixated on achieving a high standard and never failing, which is good. However, one learns from failure faster than any other method, so not doing well in a particular circumstance is not the end of the world; one will never make that mistake again.

Great quote, Nick! Failure is only optional when a person doesn't live life to the fullest and take risks. I think that today, many people are concerned with failing and they are too cautious. It is impossible to never fail. One must fail and try again before they succeed, and that success will be the best.

Particularly in the modern era, with population growth and the rising support of intellectualism, interactions between younger generations have become increasingly competitive. Each of us have a motivating drive to accomplish more, succeed more, and make more of a difference, but none of us are ready to admit defeat. This, in itself, is what will lead us to become central figures in the determination of our generation's future.

What a great quote to think about how we need to take risks in life. You are right that some people fail to try (and possibly succeed!) simply because they are afraid to fail. Fear of failure is a strong deterrent for so many that they end up missing out on many wonderful things in life.

Failure is a natural part of life, and we should not be afraid to remember this. Everyone fails, and nobody would learn anything if that was not the case. I like the ending, especially, because its saying that if you take no risks because you are afraid to fail, you have failed. This is true, and very ironic. We all need to not be afraid to fail and try new things in life.

I think this quote means that you have to take risks to be happy, and to live a successful life. In order to live the life you want to live, you have to make sacrifices and decide what is right or wrong regardless of how difficult the decision may be. Overall, I think this quote is something everyone should think about, and I think it can provide courage to those who are struggling to make the correct decision.

I think that this quote is pretty true, and can motivate people to go for it. Even if you do not succeed, you have the experience that you can learn from.

It is important to take risks because great things can come from them. Even if you fail taking the risk, you can learn from that and push yourself to do better in the future.

I agree with this quote very much because failure is a part of life. It is important to accept that, and when you do, you will be able to look back on your failures and learn from them. Our failures are what help us become who we are because we can learn from our mistakes and improve ourselves so that we do not make the same mistakes in the future.

I like this quote because it is telling people that life is about taking risks, and failure is bound to happen to anyone in life. Being scared of failure and taking risks can not result in success.

I like this quote because it inspires the reader to take risks and not worry about the end outcome. If you never try new things because you are afraid to fail, what is the point? I think people often shy away from taking risks out of fear of what others will think or fear of embarrassment, but the fact is, everyone messes up and everyone fails at some point.

Great quote Nick! I think everyone in this modern age is striving for perfectionism because colleges and jobs look for perfectionism. There are unnecessary standards set for every student who wants to go to a competitive college, and turns the student into a machine, not a person. The thing is the college doesn't want a machine, they want a person, so you end up with a bunch of stressed out teenagers who don't have lives, and all they do is study.

Great quote Nick. Love it. It is a very accurate insight on today's society. Most people think you need to get it right the first time around. That isn't necessarily true. I agree especially with the last part. Complacency is one of the worst ways to live life, and that quote accentuates that idea entirely.

Great Quote Nick! @ me next time.
This quote is important, especially coming from one of the most successful writers. It reminds you that you can fail and still succeed in the in the long run. It also conveys that failures may be beneficial in some ways.

I really enjoy this quote, especially since it came from a well known author. I know personally, that to accomplish something, you usually have to overcome failures. It is rare to accomplish something at first without failing at one point along the way. Sometimes it is hard to realize that, but after some time most people accept and realize that reality.

I think this quote is very applicable to society today, where everyone is trying to compete against each other. It is important to remember that failing is not the only product of failure.

I agree with the quote. Accepting failure is important. Failure is something that everyone has and will continue to experience throughout their lives. With failure, you learn from your mistakes and grow stronger. Without it, there is no risk to improve.

Great quote, Nick. I can identify with this quote very much, since I make many mistakes daily. Do I learn from them? Most of the time. For instance, in Biology class, I once had a research paper to write and procrastinated writing the draft until the night it was due. I finished it at 1am! Gosh, was that a mistake. Now I force myself to divide time to do an assignment well before it is due.

I think this definitely applies to society today. In school at least, I know there are lots of people who are hesitant to, say, take a difficult class just because they are scared of possibly losing a few percentage points. But in the long run, they miss out on the valuable lessons they would have learned if they had taken it. In the end, I think it's important to recognize that nobody is going to look back on who got a 100 in this one class versus someone who got a 94 in another. Rather, we'll be able to look back and think "wow, I really learned some great lessons here and gained all sorts of insight."

Great quote, Nick! I think this message about failure is important to keep in mind as we progress through high school. For some of us, although we might not fail a class, we sometimes fail our own standards. For many people in our class, getting a 90 is equivalent to a complete failure. It is important to keep in mind that these failures are an essential part of life.

Nothing worth doing in this life is easy, and sometimes you are bound to fail. This doesn't define you; one of the greatest skills one can have is the ability to take meaning away from failure and to use it to better yourself. Instant and ever-present success does nothing but atrophy the mind and the will and set you up for a catastrophic failure you may not be able to overcome.
