When we hesitate to do something, isn’t it often because of the possibility of failure or risk? No one likes to fail, and we can’t know whether our lives will change for better or for worse in a new world.
But think about it for a moment: Do you really want to spend your days unchanging in a stable world just because you’re afraid of failure and risk? This quote asks us that question and teaches us that sometimes we need to take risks.
By continuing to take on challenges without fearing risk or failure, we may find success.
The future is not something you predict; it’s something you make possible yourself.NEW!Saint-Exupéry
The future is not what you predict, but what you make possible yourself.
Saint-Exupéry, who was both a pilot and a novelist, is loved around the world for his book The Little Prince.
This famous quote carries a powerful message: the future is not something to be predicted and decided in advance, but something to be opened up and realized through our own efforts.
It’s important to consider “What will happen?”, but the results of predictions do not become the future as they are.
Because the future can change in countless ways depending on us, let’s take proactive action to get even a little closer to the future we envision.

Weaknesses will eventually become character.
Weaknesses that everyone has tend to carry a strong negative image, and many people may be desperate to hide them.
Here is a quotation from Albert Einstein that offers a way of thinking about such weaknesses and makes us consider how to face them.
Rather than eliminating our weaknesses, it suggests that by deliberately keeping them, we can find ways to make use of them—and that this can lead to each person’s own way forward.
It might even be the spark that helps you learn to love the weaknesses you once saw as something unpleasant.

The experience of failure can make us feel negative, and sometimes we stop in fear of moving forward.
Here is a quote from Thomas Edison, known as the Wizard of Invention, that encourages us to reconsider how we face failure and gives us the courage to try again.
It expresses the will to keep challenging ourselves—not by seeing something as a failure, but by recognizing it as discovering a way that doesn’t work and learning from it.
Precisely because it can sound like bravado, it also seems to tell us that what we tend to regard as a big failure is actually not such a big deal.
