    can help with. In 2013 Oprah Winfrey said this quote at Harvard "It doesn’t matter how far you might rise. At some point you are bound to stumble. ... If you’re constantly pushing yourself higher ... the law of averages‚ not to mention the Myth of Icarus‚ predicts that you will at some point fall. And when you do I want you to know this‚ remember this: There is no such thing as failure.
