“And don’t be afraid to fail. It’s not so bad to fail, because then you know what you’re good at.” Carla Zampatti



The title quote is from her speech at UOW when she received her honorary doctorate.

I loved the detail on her dress at Fleurs de Ville Femmes exhibition, but I really adored the shoes.    








The exhibition is magnificent, so make sure you get in there this weekend before it finishes.

I liked the quote because I think we need to reassess how we view failure. It's not something we need to be scared of as I've discussed before. It's just a learning tool. It is a shame when we're young we avoid it so much. We limit our options when we do...

"Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end."  – Denis Waitley

    Certainly wonderful exhibition! I agree with you about failures. No one is perfect all at once.

    What a beautiful and unique dress! I thought it was a flower exhibit at first. The quote is also wonderful. We need to learn not to be afraid of failure as it is often the best way to learn and to make progress.

    Very cool! And I love the quote. Until we try, we'll never learn what our talents truly are!

    I try to never use the world fail...we try something we've never done and if it isn't perfect we fail? That is just plain silly.

    It also seems like a very nice exhibition. And failure is a learning process but it is very difficult if you have a fear of failure to get rid of it. I've had it for years but have learned to deal with it. It is also not easy for those who do not have it to understand. It can sometimes rule your whole life.
