“Many people dream of success. To me success can only be achieved through repeated failure and introspection. In fact, success represents the 1% of your work which results only from the 99% that is called failure.
— Soichiro Honda
Founder, Honda Motor Co.
As quoted in What Creates Jobs? (1989) by Paul Callister; also quoted in The Speed of Trust: The One Thing that Changes Everything (2008) by Stephen Covey
