Don't be discouraged by a failure. It can be a positive experience.

Compassion for yourself translates into compassion for others.
~ Suki Jay Munsell
Until you have learned to be tolerant with those who do not always agree with you; until you have cultivated the habit of saying some kind word of those whom you do not admire; until you have formed the habit of looking for the good instead of the bad there is in others, you will be neither successful nor happy.
