At the end of the day, you are solely responsible for your success and your failure. And the sooner you realize that, you accept that, and integrate that into your work ethic, you will start being successful. As long as you blame others for the reason you aren't where you want to be, you will always be a failure.
If you're not failing every now and again, it's a sign you're not doing anything very innovative.
Success is often achieved by those who don't know that failure is inevitable.

Success and failure are equally disastrous.
A man can fail many times, but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody else.
