On Success and Failure
| Quote: |
| Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It’s quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure. You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn’t at all. You can be discouraged by failure—or you can learn from it. So go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because, remember that’s where you will find success.

That is about the only formula for success I know. Our single biggest fear is fear of failure. Conquering that fear is success. T J Watson Sr. built IBM, and his son T J Watson Jr. made it the most important company in the world in his lifetime.
