«You may have a fresh start at any moment you choose, for this thing we call ‘failure’ is not falling down, but staying down.»

I, however, see a difference between staying down and failing. Sometimes, we have to stay down not to fail.
There’s almost always an exception to every sentiment …

Thanks 😀
its more like hurdles … JUMPING OF HURDLES IN LIFE WITHOUT FALLING OR FALLING AND GETTING BACK UP GIVES YOU A BETTER STORY TO TELL AT THE END …
😀
yea ,,,,,
What are some areas where you didn’t stay down last year?
Finances 😀 and you ?
(Only) If you don’t mind clarifying, you mean they threatened to take you down or there was never such a threat?
Perhaps we should take this offline, there’s some things I talk about on my blog and some things I don’t 😀 … I’ll drop you an email so we have a line of communication …
It did occur to me you’d respond that way – the first part of your answer, that is. I took the liberty of asking since you’d laid that answer on the table. No obligation of course (ever) to go in-depth or even email. Thanks, DC.

To be honest there’s potentially 40000 pairs of eyes reading everything I write … so as the cliche goes – “discretion is the better part of valour” 😀
I’ll email you … who knows where it may lead … adventure, mystery, intrigue … stranger things have been known … but really I’m just an ordinary guy, so probably just chat !
I don’t mind your deleting your original answer if you have second thoughts about leaving it. And you’ve probably already written me – you powerbloggers are so fast – but my take is you have better things to do than talk with l’il ol’ me. =)
LOL … email been sent … and I’ve said worse elsewhere, so sure it’ll be fine !
Perhaps, perhaps not, we’ll have to see where it goes my dear 😀
Mary Pickford was probably the most powerful women Hollywood has ever seen, not only as a huge star (on par with Chaplin), but also as a producer and one of the founders of United Artists. If you look at her professional life, you can see that she lived that quote.
A very inspiring woman indeed … happy I quoted !

Thanks for sharing 🙂 I needed this as I am currently starting again, but until now I wasn’t 100% confident with my decision because I thought this meant I had failed.
Starting again is ok especially if it will make you happier in the long run.
Everyone starts again sometimes … hoping for new and interesting adventures for you 😀
staying down to cool my nerves, read and write a lot, try learn new things daily everyday and one day, I will join the race hopefully.
It’s ok to take a break !
What a surprise – Mary Pickford! But then she was a pretty astute business woman as well as a great actress in her time!
😀
Too right

Failure is when one gives up to try, when one quits to get up as one falls. To be effortless is failing.
