Always try to get over failure quickly. Learn from it. Study how you contributed to it. If you are responsible for it, own up to it. Though others may have greater responsibility for it than you do, don’t look for that as an escape hatch. Once you have analyzed what went wrong and what you did wrong, internalize the lessons and then move on. As always, drive through life looking through the front windshield and not the rearview mirror. Don’t become one of those pests who can’t stop talking about their by now ancient slights, betrayals, hurts, or disasters. Don’t wallow with your sympathetic friends. Learn and move on.

Do not dwell on what once was, but rather look forward and ponder how you can make the future brighter

I think if you do something and it turns out pretty good, then you should go do something else wonderful, not dwell on it for too long. Just figure out what’s next.

Instead of worrying about what could go wrong, change your thoughts to what could go right. When you change the negative thought into a positive one, it eliminates the negative one.

You can’t concentrate on doing anything if you are thinking, “What’s gonna happen if it doesn’t go right?

Don't find fault. Find a remedy.

All the mental energy you use to elaborate your misery would be far better used trying to find the one seemingly impossible way out of your current mess. Spend zero time on what you could have done, and devote all of your time on what you might do.

Do force yourself to stop looking backward and dwelling on the professional “train wreck” you have just been in. It’s

Fix your eyes forward on what you can do, not back on what you cannot change.

A morbid concentration on one’s grievances with life will only make one’s problems more severe. Far better to focus on one’s successes, to gain confidence from seeing oneself winning out. Then one can forge ahead in life.

If we experience any failures or setbacks, we do not forget them because they offend our self-esteem. Instead we reflect on them deeply, trying to figure out what went wrong and discern whether there are any patterns to our mistakes.

If something is wrong, fix it if you can. But train yourself not to worry. Worry never fixes anything.

Whenever something bad happens, keep calm, take a few deep breaths and shift the focus to something positive.

Take the opportunity to learn from your mistakes: find the cause of your problem and eliminate it. Don't try to be perfect; just be an excellent example of being human.
