Robert Kiyosaki
It's impossible to have a coin with only one side. You can't have heads without tails. Innovation is like that. Initiative is like that. Art is like that. You can't have success unless you're prepared to have failure. As soon as you say, "failure is not an option," you've just said, "innovation is not an option."
