Ever tried.
Ever failed.
No matter.
Try again.
Fail again.
Fail better.

Ah, Beckett! The master of failure, who failed at writing until middle age when he became world famous for writing about failure. Who better to weigh in on the subject of failure? If Beckett, arguably the most important and influential playwright of the 20th century, teaches us anything it is to rise above failure. To not let it destroy us. To embrace it and let it give us strength for the fight. And most of all, to never give up.
