Failure

I learned not to be disillusioned by failure, not to be burdened by perfection, and not to be intimidated by greatness.

If you want to cross the river of life, you're gonna get wet. And that's not a bug — that's a feature.

While perfection is elusive, humanity is certain. And it will get you where you want to go, where you need to be.

Learning how to fall teaches you how to land, and learning to land gives you the courage to jump higher.

My experience has been that my mistakes led to the best things in my life. And being embarrassed when you mess up, it's part of the human experience. Getting back up, dusting yourself off and seeing who still wants to hang out with you afterward and laugh about it, that's a gift.

Getting canceled on the internet and nearly losing my career gave me an excellent knowledge of all the types of wine.

There may be more failures than victories. I've been blessed to have 24 Grammys, but I've lost 46 times. That meant rejection 46 times. Please don't ever feel entitled to win — just keep working harder.

It would be better to fail doing something challenging, something worthwhile, something I was excited to show the world, than to succeed doing something safe that wouldn't actually inspire much at all.

Failure is not something to be ashamed of, it's something to be powered by. Failure is the highest octane fuel your life can run on.

Everyone gets knocked down. What matters is whether you get back up and keep going.

Failure is not something to be ashamed of, it's something to be powered by. Failure is the highest octane fuel your life can run on. You gotta learn to make failure your fuel.
