“…here is an expiry date on blaming your parents for steering you in the wrong direction; the moment you are old enough to take the wheel, responsibility lies with you…”
“… Why do I talk about the benefits of failure? Simply because failure meant a stripping away of the inessential… I was set free, because my greatest fear had been realized… You might never fail on the scale I did, but some failure in life is inevitable. It is impossible to live without failing at something. Unless you live so cautiously, that you might as well not have lived at all. In which case you failed by default…”
