If at first you don’t succeed…

I gave lectures to several groups of high school students yesterday about entrepreneurship.

The title of my talk was “Needs+Networking=Business Ideas”.

However, I decided yesterday morning that I would focus more on the topic of failure. Specifically, the benefit of being unafraid to fail. I will write more on the subject in a short while, but in the meantime I wanted to share this quote that I didn’t use but now wish I had:

“If at first you don’t succeed, fail, fail again.”

I thought this was an original quote but unfortunately Google says otherwise. Thus far, no one has intended it as a positive, however, so I’ll still take credit.
