Failure is never the problem, its our response to the failure that hurts us or helps us. ~John Maxwell, A minute with Maxwell

John Maxwell is the one the upmost sought after teacher of leadership. John teaches us here that we should always look at failure with a learners eye. There are lessons we can learn from failure, and that is a positive. If we look at failure in a negative light we simply bring ourselves down and typically will learn not to do whatever caused us to fail. Another perfect quote for us to learn from this lesson is the paraphrased quote from Benjamin Franklin regarding the light bulb.

"We did not fail, we found 1000 ways not to make the light bulb, I only have to find one way to make it work."
