THE SIGNIFICANCE OF FAILURE
 
　　Robert H. Schuller
 
　　Failure doesnt mean you are a failure,
　　It does mean you havent succeeded yet.
　　Failure doesnt mean you have accomplished nothing,
　　It does mean you have learned something.
　　Failure doesnt mean you have been a fool,
　　It does mean you had a lot of faith.
　　Failure doesnt mean youve been disgraced,
　　It does mean you were willing to try.
　　Failure doesnt mean you dont have it,

　　It does mean you have to do something in a different way.
　　Failure doesnt mean you are inferior,

　　It does mean you are not perfect.
　　Failure doesnt mean youve wasted your life,
　　It does mean you have a reason to start afresh.

　　Failure doesnt mean you should give up,

　　It does mean you must try harder.

　　Failure doesnt mean youll never make it,
　　It does mean it will take a little longer.

　　Failure doesnt mean God has abandoned you,

　　It does mean God has a better idea.
