When I was about 15... I made my first attempt as a leading lady, and was, of course, a complete failure.
Life is so fresh, life is every day so new if we are fighting, only for the best. Sometimes I think the only real satisfaction in life is failure, failure in your endeavor to do your best.
A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success.
All that is necessary to break the spell of inertia and frustration is this: Act as if it were impossible to fail. That is the talisman, the formula, the command of right about face which turns us from failure to success.
