Quote by Samuel Beckett: “Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.”

Failure isn't the opposite of progress — it's part of the process. Each time you fail, you learn something, so your next failure is a slightly better one. The goal isn't to avoid failing but to keep going and improve through it.

This line appears in Beckett's 1983 prose piece Worstward Ho, written in his late period when he had already achieved global literary recognition. The early 1980s saw widespread economic hardship across Western Europe, and Beckett continued to write minimalist work that stripped language to its essentials.

Irish avant-garde novelist and playwright best known for Waiting for Godot, awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1969. His work explored human endurance, absurdity, and the will to continue despite the absence of meaning.
