A lot of failure before success:
"Not all who wander are lost" - J.R.R. Tolkein

“The speaker needs the audience more than the audience needs the speaker.”
"But my favorite piece of advice isn’t my own — it’s from a guy named Nick Morgan. He said, “What you need to do right before you walk on stage is think of someone that you love dearly.” Doing that, I felt the chemistry in my whole body change. My shoulders relaxed and my heart melted. That feeling of affection makes your body calm itself down. That’s a really great way to stop stage fright."More TED Talks on public speaking
