Favorite Quote: “Winners are not afraid of losing. But losers are. Failure is part of the process of success. People who avoid failure also avoid success… In school we learn that mistakes are bad, and we are punished for making them. Yet, if you look at the way humans are designed to learn, we learn by making mistakes. We learn to walk by falling down. If we never fell down, we would never walk.” ― Robert T.
