I think that if a person is determined to succeed, nothing will stop him/her to reach his/her goal. For a determined person, failures are like stepping stones. They are opportunities to learn something from. They are the ways of how not to do it.

Hello julyteen. It is absolutely true that failure will never overtake the one who is determined to make every success in his life. It shows that we need to have a determined mind in whatever we do so long as we wish to succeed in perseverance. It is very important for us to be always perseverant instead of being lazy, which will only make us achieve nothing, but success in imagination with no real action. Take action and success is at sight.

i know you know what it means but anyway here is mine. it means that if you are determined to do something and you are in focus on that goal and the more you think about it the less you will think about failure and that means there is no such a thing called failure, it does not exit and if it does not exists then nothing can stop you in achieving your goal.

I agree so. There may be mistakes and flaws along the way, but they will just all turn out positively because of the strength of one's will and eagerness to succeed through life's endeavors and trials. That is such an inspiring quote.

This is obviously the statement of a positive thinker. It is a little like the philosophy of the late Norman Vincent Peale who wrote the book "The Power of Positive Thinking." It is something we should all try to do. If more of us would try to push on even if we think we cant sometimes things do work. There is a line in the Apollo 13 movie in which when things looked bleak and hopeless the man in control at Nasa Houston said "Failure is not a option". While the mission to the moon was a failure, the crew all came back alive thanks to the work of the scientists who figured out how to bring them back from disaster.

That is so true. It means that failure is only permanent when you allow it to make you give up. All successful people have met with failure at one point or another in their journey. The difference between them and a failure is that they keep fighting towards their goal. They get up, dust themselves off, and keep trying until they get what they want. In order to achieve success, you have to have a strong determination to achieve it, stronger than failures that come your way.
