Two things I say about success or failure:

The only ones not making mistakes are those no doing anything...

and

We learn more from our failures than we do our successes.....

At least that's the way it been for me.

I often wonder if an Astronaut traveling at 30,000 MPH for most of a year lives longer ! My time is traveling faster than his as I watch him go past. Does it matter if he misses a lot of stuff living more of my time than me.....
How can his heart beat slower ? Is a heart beat counted by the amount per quantum /time lived or is there a Universe standard for whats going on ? You know Faster / slower and the Slower you go the faster time passes or If you don't move at all how fast does time pass ! If you are somewhere where there is exactly nothing in motion would the Clock Spin Backwards ? U no even a Black hole is in motion so time must pass at that state, where is there absolutely nothing in motion ? It would have to be a very cold dead place ! .....

Remember that everyone you meet wears an invisible sign. It reads...
"Notice me. Make me feel important."

That's information one can use in about a million ways to "make friends and influence people" for all sorts of reasons.

It depends upon which way you travel. The earth is about 24,000 miles around the equator. At the right altitude (approximately 2,000 above the earth) traveling West at that speed puts you in geosynchronous orbit and you experience a single day. Traveling East you perform 24 trips around earth's sphere, but the earth will rotate once underneath you meaning 25 days will elapse.

Always travel to the West. We're already aging entirely too fast as it is!
