Failure is not the enemy of success but the stepping stool to it.
This quote is in fact talking about risk-taking. Risk taking is simply putting something on the line to achieve something greater. Usually when someone takes a risk they run the risk of achieving something greater or failure. Unlike the quote “You Miss a 100% of the shots you don’t take”, where the lesson is those who take no risks are bound to fail however, this quote is trying to show us that it is those who have the courage to take risks and fail are the ones most likely to succeed. Why? because those people who realize that failure is a part of life and as such don’t let it get to them are those who will achieve greatly when they finally succeed. Another lesson the quote is trying to teach us is failure is not the enemy of success but the stepping stool to succees. In summary, take risks and don’t be afraid to fail because failing at something is the best way to determine what it takes to succeed.
