You must accept that you might fail; then, if you do your best and still don’t win, at least you can be satisfied that you’ve tried. If you don’t accept failure as a possibility, you don’t set high goals, you don’t branch out, you don’t try – you don’t take the risk.
That brick that you’re standing on, that foundation that you’re standing on, there’s a brick in there that was placed by someone you never knew, sort of a faceless possibility, but you’re there now.
