Failure really isn't terrible if you can say to yourself hey I know I'm gonna be successful at what I want to do someday. Failure doesn't become a big hangup then because it's only temporary. If failure is absolute then it would be a disaster but as long as it's only temporary you can just go and achieve almost anything.

Jerry Delia Femina Failures Mistakes

I'm hardnosed about luck. I think it sucks. Yeah if you spend seven years looking for a job as a copywriter and then one day somebody gives you a job you can say Gee I was lucky I happened to go up there today. But dammit I was going to go up there sooner or later in the next seventy years. ... If you're persistent in trying and doing and working you almost make your own fortune.
