Erwin Lutzer, Failure: the Backdoor to Success:
What is failure? It is living with perverted values. It is being hooked on one or more of the three worldly motivations [the pride of life, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes]. What is success? It is learning to apply the grace of God. It is understanding how we can be accepted by God despite our bitter experiences of the past.
