Author and entrepreneur Randy Gage said failure is an essential part of achieving success, shaping individuals for their greatest triumphs.

“Failure is not the opposite of success—it’s a stepping stone to it,” Gage wrote in a blog post. “Each setback, each challenge, each ‘failure’ is simply tuition you pay for future success.”

Gage argued that most people misunderstand failure, seeing it as something to be avoided rather than embraced. He noted that successful individuals often endure repeated failures before achieving their goals, learning valuable lessons along the way.

He also highlighted the importance of resilience, writing that those who succeed are the ones who persist despite setbacks. “The only real failure is quitting,” he wrote, encouraging readers to view obstacles as opportunities for growth.
