Success is the ability to go from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm

Winston Churchill

I have not failed.  I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work

Thomas Edison

Rejection.  It is not you... and it doesn't define you.  You define you.

Cam Adair / The suprising truth about rejection / Tedx Fargo

When faced with rejection, don't run.  Embrace them, they may become your gifts

Jia Jiang / Suprprising lessons from 100 days of rejection / Tedx Talks

Roses are red
Violets are blue
That's what they say
But it just isn't true
Roses are red
And apples are, too
But violets are violet
Violets aren't blue
An orange is orange
But Greeland's not green
A pinky's not pink
So what does it mean?
To call something blue when it's not
We defile it
But, ah, what the heck
It's hard to rhyme violet.
