Motivation is what gets you started and drives you to success, while failure leaves you demotivated and hopeless. Failure sucks hurt your feelings, crushes your ego but also gives you the opportunity to reevaluate the path that you’re on and revert back to success. It is not absurd to make another attempt. You may be away from success just a fortnight away or one concrete effort behind. However, you need some inspiration before you start afresh.
