Quote by William D. Brown

Failure is an event, never a person.

Failure is an event, never a person.

Summary

This quote suggests that even though failure may refer to something that we experience or encounter, it should never define who we are as individuals. Instead, failure should be seen as a temporary setback or a learning opportunity rather than a reflection of our character or abilities. By understanding that failure is separate from our identity, we can maintain resilience, learn from our mistakes, and continue to grow and evolve.
