外國勵志詩句:失敗的意義

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.
