Faillure is the condiment that gives success its flavor

" Failure is the condiment that gives success its failure".

              This quote appeals to me for many reasons. Perhaps, in part due to the subtle food reference, but mostly because it is so simple yet profound. I think about my own life and realize that thre were many mistakes that I painfully struggled through, before I could enjoy the sweetness of success. This may cause as a surprise to some, but the reality is that, there are a lot of reasons why we make the choice that we do. The trick is not letting one mistake become a downward spiral.
