When it comes to the subject of failure in life, business, or the pursuit of ones dreams it helps to keep in mind the story of one man's life. Here it is:

Failed in business at age 31. Defeated for the legislature at 32. Again failed in business at 34. Sweetheart died at 35. Had a nervous breakdown at 36. Defeated in election at 38. Defeated for Congress at 43. Defeated for Congress at 46. Defeated for Congress at 48. Defeated for Senate at 55. Defeated for Vice President at 56. Defeated for Senate at 58. Elected President at age 60. Ended Slavery and Held an "baby" Nation together through a civil war. This man was Abraham Lincoln.

What if he only gave it "three strikes" ?
