Failure (Motivational Speech)

Most people don't reach their dream, not because of failure
Most people don't live their dream because they give up
You see, it's not the failure that stops us, but that most stop at their first failure
Those who succeed don't stop at one failure
They don't stop at ten failures
They don't stop at a hundred, one thousand or a million
They say, "This is my goal and I will do whatever it takes to achieve it
I will learn the lessons from any failures
I will learn faster, I will work harder, I will work smarter
And I will not quit until my dream is a reality"

That's the difference between success and failure
Failure makes winners stronger, failure makes winners hungrier
But it makes most give up, it makes most feel worthless
Winners don't enjoy failure, but they would never let failure stop them
Next time you encounter failure, you've got to remember
Every great thing on this planet is here because the creator learned what did work
But learned more from what did not work

When we are kids we don't stop at failure
When we first learned to ride a bike, it's failure after failure
We get knocked down time after time
But we get up and push forward until we achieve our goal of riding the bike
But then we get old and most of us get weak
We are too soft to get back on the bike
We come up with excuses, "It must not be for me"
No you're just soft, no you're just lazy
Tell yourself the truth, get back on the bike, learn why you fell and make sure you don't fall again
Make sure you are stronger for having the lesson

Failure is not the end of your story
It is the start of your comeback story
If failure was the end of your story, there would be no greats
Greats like Jordan, greats like Einstein, like Edison, like Oprah Winfrey
If these people stopped at failure, the world would not be filled with their greatness as it is today

Failure is nothing but a lesson to the winner
Failure is nothing but motivation to the winner, failure is fuel
No one likes to fail, but the difference between those that win and those that lose in life
Is the winner decides a better meaning for their failure
They decide never again
They declare, "I will be better next time"

Don't let failure stop you
Let it grow you, let it develop you
Failure is not the end, it's just the start
The start of your comeback story
The only way you can call it a failure is if you quit
If you keep going, it's only a hurdle, one you will overcome
The only way you can fail is if you quit
Never quit, keep pushing, you will get there in the end

Failure doesn't exist in the mind of champions, all it does is push them to a higher level
Are you a champion? Will you accept failure or keep going?
Learn the lesson, apply the lessons
Come out stronger than before and keep going
Some people fear failure so much, they never try, they never even start
Some people give up right when they're about to succeed
They were so close, but they threw in the towel
Don't let that be you

Thomas Edison didn't fail, he found ten thousand ways that did not work
Guess what? He only needed one way that did work
Einstein said, "Failure is success in progress"
Failure is just one more way not to do something
Keep going and you will succeed
Keep going and you will succeed
Failure is not the end of your story, it is the start of your comeback story

If you use failure as fuel, you can't really fail
If you use it as motivation, you cannot be defeated in the long-term
If you use it to drive you, use it to make you, it can never break you
If you never accept defeat, you can never fail
Refuse to be defeated, refuse to be defeated
Learn the lesson, find a new path
In a different way to your goal
There's always a way
