3 ways to deal with failure
1) give up
2) keep trying
3) Get feedback, change until one succeeds

Proverbs 15:16

Better a little with the fear of the Lord than great wealth with turmoil.

Ecclesiastes 5:12-14

12 The sleep of a labourer is sweet,
whether he eats little or much,
but the abundance of a rich man
permits him no sleep.

14 or wealth lost through some misfortune,
so that when he has a son
there is nothing left for him.

Deuteronomy 8 :18

But remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his convenant, which he swore to your forefathers, as it is today.
