You don't say

This brief  write-up concerns Coco Chanel, a designer I think many of us loved for her style, her wit, her outspokenness, and her flawless work.

A particular quote of hers that I like is: “Success is often achieved by those who don't know that failure is inevitable.”

I think this speaks volumes about perseverance.  Today, so many businesses fail due to the current economy and yet as a designer you have to believe in your product.  Failure in business has happened to many but yet they still persevere and then become successful.  Fear of failure is with everyone and no one wants their business to fail.  However, if you don't ever try in spite of the odds you will never have the satisfaction to have achieved the happiness of success in whatever size, form or shape it can take on.
