The dictionary defines failure as “lack of success” For me success is not a lack of mistakes (or acceptance that we have made them). Success is not even the antithesis of failure. The two are so intrinsically related that it is perhaps what keeps so many of us from realizing our true successes or how close we are. I believe that failure is an integral part of success. It is pushing through those failures, mistakes, bad decisions that can bring true success. It is the acceptance of failure, the bravery to admit it, and the determination to push on towards the goal that makes success.

Isn't there a vacuum cleaner commercial that talks about "failures" simply bringing us one step closer to ultimate success? And there's a quote similar to that with regard to the invention of the light bulb I think too. Too bad I can't remember this stuff off the top of my head, though. Good stuff. Kudos.
