Failure

Failure doesn't have to be something you repeat, but if you do repeat it, and if it does take 50 times to learn something, then take 50 times to learn something.

Failure doesn't have to keep you from doing what comes next.

Failure

If it takes 50 times of doing something wrong to take your time and do it right, take 50 times to do it wrong.

If it takes 50 times to find your rhythm, get a little more relaxed and confident in what you're doing, and do it right, that's how many times it takes. Fucking up isn't meant to be fun, but without failure you're not going to learn anything new.

Failure

The hard part is not rushing through something when it seems like failure is inevitable if you don't hurry up, even though you only get it halfway done when you do that. It's better to fail and not fear it, than to succeed because you fear failure. You never really learn or improve if you only succeed because you're afraid of failure or don't like to lose (nobody really does). Otherwise, you're the kind of person who has a go to bag of nearly limitless tricks to reach for, hoping that the other guy forgot one that you haven't used in a long time.

Failure isn't meant to be fun, not everything in life is.

Failure

Even if someone tries to light a fire under your ass, take your time even if it's harder not to rush. When you try to do something on somebody else's rhythm that isn't your own, you'll never get to find yours.

Somebody trying to light a fire under somebody else's ass is trying to get them scared of failure.
