"What do you do when you fall on your face? Do you try to jump right up and
hope no one noticed? Are you more concerned with what other people will think,
than what you can learn from this? Mr. Contest Chair, friends, and people way in
the back!. OUCH!

Do you feel I stayed down too long? Have you ever stayed
down too long?"

(...)

So many of us can see clearly where we want to go, and yet we go back and forth. If I just had more time... If I just had a little more money... or If the kids were little older. But we never take that first step.

Dr Goddard's first flight took off in Auburn and landed... in Auburn. It only went up 41 feet. the first step can be small.

(...) Its part of the process."

"The step AFTER the ouch is the most difficult. Take it. It will be hard,
you'll be unsure, but when that foot lands... oh you're going like that
feeling........... We learn from the ouch.

If you are willing to fail you can learn anything.

(...)

We will find our feet get stuck... and we are so afraid of the ouch we
forget when we take a risk.... and fall on our face. We still... make...
progress... Fall Forward."
