I learn from my mistakes - every mistake makes me a bit wiser.
Since I want to be very wise, I try to make as many mistakes as I can!

I couldn't wait for success... so I went ahead without it. ~Jonathan Winters

If at first you don't succeed, failure may be your style. ~Quentin Crisp

If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried. ~Author Unknown
