Winners Never Cheat/Huntsman 53-55

54 Leaders are called on to enter arenas where success isn’t covered by the warranty, where public failure is a real possibility.

Temporary failures never got in the way of those grand, early-life ventures.

55 How one identifies and corrects errors, how one turns failure into a new opportunity, determines the quality and durability of leadership.

Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from poor judgment.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, and comes short again and again, because there is not effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who know the great enthusiasm, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. Teddy Roosevelt.
