Successful people have failed more times than they have succeeded. Why is it that people who don’t take risk in life often don't succeed greatly? This must tell you something about failure. Failure and Success exist on the same pole but are simply opposites. Ice turns into water at 32 degrees Fahrenheit, but water freezes at 33 degrees. Failure and Success are two of the same thing. Your perspective of where you are on this pole determines if you are successful or a “failure” You are simply a degree away from “success”
