Failure is to success as practice is to perfection. One who perseveres to achieve a paragon of whatever it may be will one day accomplish that task. In the same sense‚ an average human being who makes mistakes‚ like the rest of us‚ must fail in order to reach the level of success that he or she is determined to.
