“ Never let your failures go to your heart or your successes go to your head. ”
Success represents the 1% of your work which results from the 99% that is called failure.
~ Sōichirō Honda
Success is 99 percent failure.
There is a Japanese proverb that literally goes 'Raise the sail with your stronger hand', meaning you must go after the opportunities that arise in life that you are best equipped to do.
