"Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts."

Life is a continuous and unstoppable journey, success and failure are products and are temporary. Whether we face success or failure, we must keep going.

It takes a lot of courage to accept or embrace change after success.

In fact, contrary to popular belief, the journey to success is more difficult than failure. Because you want to persevere in your success.

Any success last year is history, and this year you have to set new goals and achieve new success. If you were No. 1 last year, you don't have to be No. 1 this year. If you want to be, you have to fight a new battle again. No success is final. Records can only be broken, and new ones are set every year.

So, if success is not final, how can failure be final? Unless of course stop trying. On the contrary, the journey before failure is easy because no one wants to live with the label of failure. In fact, failure is a precursor to success. The bigger the goal, the greater the chance of failure. You rarely fail in your comfort zone. But the moment you step out of your comfort zone, do something big, do something that hasn't been done before - there's a good chance you're going to fail. So fail early, fail big. The size of your failure or the size of the hurdle will determine the size of your success.

Bill Gates is a Harvard dropout. He co-owned a company called Traf-O-Data, but it was a real failure. However, technology and a passion for computer programming allowed the failure to pioneer the famed software company Microsoft and make the then 31-year-old the world's youngest self-made billionaire.

Considered one of the most influential filmmakers of all time, Steven Spielberg is a household name. So, surprisingly, the genius behind Jaws and E.T. Had poor high school grades and was rejected 3 times by USC.

If failure was fatal, none of these people would have reached the top. But the biggest lesson is not only their success, but their continuity on the path of progress, and they keep evolving.
