The fear of failure is not just the greatest fear of man, it is the fear of man. All other fears are avatars of the fear of failure.

About This Quote

To fear failure is to fear yourself. When you fear your failure, you are afraid of the person that you will become. You fear the consequences and the feeling of discomfort that may come from failing. The problem is that failure is a natural part of life.

It is how we grow and learn. All of us will fail at times, and we should embrace that moment because we will actually learn something from it. Learning from failure lies in identifying what needs to change so that we do not fail again.

This quote gives us a great lesson in life. There will be times when you fail and it may seem like the end of the world, but all it really means is that you need to change something or learn something new. The greatest fear of man lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
