We need to accept that we won't always make the right decisions that we'll screw up royally sometimes - understanding that failure is not the opposite of success it's part of success.
I've probably earned the right to screw up a few times. I don't want the fear of failure to stop me from doing what I really care about.
Sometimes failure isn't an opportunity in disguise it's just you.
A man can get discouraged many times but he is not a failure until he begins to blame somebody else and stops trying.
Notice the difference between what happens when a man says to himself I have failed three times and what happens when he says I am a failure.
Our failings sometimes bind us to one another as closely as could virtue itself.
Success is not built on success. It's built on failure. It's built on frustration. Sometimes its built on catastrophe.
When I was young I observed that nine out of ten things I did were failures. So I did ten times more work.

Good judgement comes from experience. Sometimes experience comes from bad judgement.
I know from my own personal experience. I was bullied in middle school and high school and went through my fair share of hard times thereafter. Also one of my really good friends committed suicide when I was in high school.
When you do find humor in trying times one of the first and most important changes you experience is that you see your perplexing problems in a new way - you suddenly have a new perspective on them.
I have a mess in my head sometimes and there's something very satisfying about putting it into words. Certainly it's not something that you're in charge of necessarily but writing about it putting it into your words can be a very powerful experience.
You can't dodge them all. I got hammered plenty of times through the years. But you just get up and keep playing. I can tell you from experience though. Sometimes it hurts like hell.
These are tough times and under this Tory-led government many people in Manchester are suffering and getting left behind. If elected I will use all my energy skills experience and knowledge to stand up for our communities and get things done for the better.
