I was blessed with a sense of my own destiny. i have never sold myself short. i have never judged myself by other people's standards. i have always expected a great deal of myself, and if i fail, i fail myself. so failure or reversal does not bring out resentment in me because i cannot blame others for any misfortune that befalls me.

More From Sophia Loren

Only the mediocre are always at their best. if your standards are low, it is easy to meet those standards every single day, every single year. but if your standard is to be the best, there will be days when you fall short of that goal. it is okay to not win every game. the only problem would be if you allow a loss or a failure to change your standards. keep your standards intact, keep the bar set high, and continue to try your very best every day to meet those standards. if you do that, you can always be proud of the work that you do.

People Failing Standards
So you think that you're a failure, do you? well, you probably are. what's wrong with that? in the first place, if you've any sense at all you must have learned by now that we pay just as dearly for our triumphs as we do for our defeats. go ahead and fail. but fail with wit, fail with grace, fail with style. a mediocre failure is as insufferable as a mediocre success. embrace failure! seek it out. learn to love it. that may be the only way any of us will ever be free.

Will you teach your children what we have taught our children? that the earth is our mother? what befalls the earth befalls all the sons of the earth. this we know: the earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth. all things are connected like the blood that unites us all. man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. whatever he does to the web, he does to himself. one thing we know: our god is also your god. the earth is precious to him and to harm the earth is to heap contempt on its creator.
Mother Children Son
Failure's relative. i've always felt, even early on, if i lose the freedom to fail, something's not right about that. it's how you treat failure, too. there's something to learn from it. i've had movies that have failed colossally, so you kind of analyze your failures: what kind of failure was it? a failure because it's misunderstood by others? a failure because you misunderstood it yourself?

The sound universe is also spectacular around here. in the evenings there's a cricket orchestra with frogs providing the bass line. in the dead of night the dogs howl about how misunderstood they are. before dawn the roosters for miles around announce how freaking cool it is to be roosters.
