In a world that is not dominated by the imperfect, but is a world of the imperfect where the perfect human being has yet to be born, we all make mistakes. But would we want it any other way? What would you one like if you were perfect an incapable of making mistakes: wouldn't life become boring for you? No point in ever trying to learn anything, because you already know everything. So of course we all fail and have even failed a lot, doesn't make us failures necessarily, if we bothered to acknowledge those mistakes, learn from them and not repeat them again. Because now you know what doesn't work and what works and unless you're an idiot you're going to do what works in the future instead.

Life regardless of where you live is a constant education. Even if you've graduated college or even graduates school and have a masters, your education process hasn't stopped yet. Now you might decide to stop learning and think you already  know everything and have all the answers, but it's people like that you tend to fail the most and make the biggest mistakes, because they think they already know everything. The only time the learning process stops for anyone is after we're already dead, unless we've made to Heaven or Hell and then the learning process just continues. And if there are such places we can learn about what we're missing. The only way to ever fail in life, is to try to succeed and perhaps not know everything and make bad mistakes from that. The only way not to fail is to not try at all and become guilty of not even trying.

Teddy Roosevelt, was the Progressive's Progressive ( as I call him ) who was always moving forward and trying to get better and making life better for himself, people around him, and for society in general. Which is why this quote from his is so Teddy and represents almost everything that he ever stood for as a man. To always look forward and to be the best that anyone can be. For America to be the best country that we can be. That there's no such thing as a perfect society and Utopia, but that should never stop us form ever tying to accomplish that so we can make America as great as it can be. To always look for progress and try to achieve it to make the best country for ourself that we can possibly create. Which is what I get from this great Teddy Roosevelt quote.
