Summary

This quote emphasizes the perspective on failure and highlights the important shift in mindset. It suggests that failure should be seen as a gentle reminder that one has veered off track, rather than a definitive outcome. The key lies not in the actual result, but rather in the act of trying itself. By detaching failure from the judgment of others or from specific outcomes, it becomes a liberating experience where an individual answers only to themselves. This mindset allows for personal growth and resilience without the fear of failure hindering progress.
