“ Success is 99 percent failure. ”
Never let your failures go to your heart or your successes go to your head.
~ Sōichirō Honda
Success represents the 1% of your work which results from the 99% that is called 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.
