Right around this time of the semester many of us are receiving our midterm results. Unfortunately, even if we’ve studied incredibly hard for an exam, there are times when we simply just don’t do well. While a bad grade on a big exam may seem like the end of the world, try not to worry too much. Some things really do happen for a reason and the world’s greatest success stories are not without their share of failure. Here are some powerful quotes on failure from some extremely successful people to help spread some positivity wherever it may be needed in your life!
