6 Don't find fault, find a remedy.
7 Even a mistake may turn out to be the one thing necessary to a worthwhile achievement.

13 One of the greatest discoveries a man makes, one of his great surprises, is to find he can do what he was afraid he couldn't do.
14 There is no man living that can not do more than he thinks he can.
15 When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.
