Failure gave me an inner security that I had never attained by passing examinations.  Failure taught me things about myself that I could have learned no other way.  I discovered that I had a strong will, and more discipline than I had suspected;  I also found out that I had friends whose value was truly above the price of rubies.
    ––    J.K. Rowling
