How high could you go if you knew you wouldn’t fall?

For us, there is only the trying. The rest is not our business.

– T. S. Eliot – “East Coker” Four Quartets

Expect the people you love to be better.

It helps them to become better.

But don’t get upset when they fail.

It helps them keep trying.

Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better.

– Samuel Beckett –

Commit yourself to a dream… Nobody who tries to do something great but fails is a total failure. Why? Because he can always rest assured that he succeeded in life’s most important battle — he defeated the fear of trying.

– Robert H. Schuller –

Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.

– Albert Einstein –

Anyone who doesn’t make mistakes isn’t trying hard enough.

– Wess Roberts –

Always dream and shoot higher than you know you can do. Don’t bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself.

– William Faulkner –

THE POINT is that the new, the different , is almost by definition scary.

BUT each time you try something, you learn,

AND as the learning piles up the world opens to you.
