Remember that failure is an event, not a person.

Meaning of the quote

Failure is something that happens, not a part of who you are. This means that when you fail at something, it's not a reflection of your entire identity. It's just a temporary event that you can learn from and try again. Don't let failure define you as a person. Instead, see it as an opportunity to grow and improve.
