T-83 : Failure Passage

You rarely become an expert on your first try.  An expert is the person who's made all the mistakes and learned from them.  Mickey is so fine, he said it this way: 

"You always pass failureon the way to success."Mickey Rooney
(1920-)

I think the key word in this thought is "pass".  The problem that I often have is that I meet failure without passing it.  That can create despondency.  I appreciate Mr. Rooney reminding me to push on through and keep my attitude up while I just keep swimming.
