It ain't about how many times you fall, baby; it's about how many times you get back up. Mistakes aren't the end-all-be-all; they're chances to learn. Lots of joes and jills out there say "because I fell, I failed." Doesn't work that way, jack. The Man Upstairs is the only one who's never messed up. Show me someone who laughs at you for getting knocked off the horse, and I'll show you someone who's too scared to saddle up in the first place.

John Elway lost three Super Bowls before winning back-to-back. Milton Hershey went bankrupt six times before he hit it big with chocolate. Diana Ross was turned down for a roll in her high school musical. But people are too busy talking about Super Bowl wins, world-famous candy and records that went gold and platinum. The way to get remembered is to get back up.

Dave Ramsey was broke with a wife and two kids by age 30. I'd say he's recovered from that. Whatever you're doing, be it career, money or whatever ... suck it up and rise above it, baby.
