INSIGHTS for SUCCESS

“Mistakes are a fact of life. It is the response to error that counts.”  (Nikki Giovanni)

“To make no mistake is not in the power of man; but from their errors and mistakes the wise and good learn wisdom for the future.”  (Plutarch)

“As you begin to take action toward the fulfillment of your goals and dreams, you must realize that not every action will be perfect. Not every action will produce the desired result. Not every action will work. Making mistakes, getting it almost right, and experimenting to see what happens are all part of the process of eventually getting it right.”  (Jack Canfield)
