Impressive Temporary Setbacks quotations
Without faith in his own judgment no man can go very far in this game.

The opportunities will always be there for you.
The defining characteristic of pessimists is that they tend to believe that bad events will last a long time, will undermine everything they do, and are their own fault.

They tend to believe that defeat is just a temporary setback or a challenge, that its causes are just confined to this one case.
