He will know from and early age that failure is not disgrace. It's just a pitch that you missed, and you'd better get ready for the next one. The next one might be the shot heard round the world. My son and I are Americans, we prepare for glory by failing until we don't. Craig Ferguson
About This Quote

This powerful quote from Babe Ruth was not about failure at all. In fact, it was a celebration of excellence! His take on failure is one that anyone can learn from. When you fail, you're not a failure. You're just a pitch that you missed, and you'd better get ready for the next one.

The next one might be the shot heard round the world. Getting back up and fighting again is the only way to achieve success.
