"When I was young I observed that nine out of every ten things I did were failures, so I did ten times more work."
Irish Playwright
1856 - 1950
How do you respond when you fail? Do you give up and quit? Do you work harder at becoming better? The difference between winners and losers is that the winners keep going long after the losers have quit. What failures are holding you back today? What expectations do you have about success? When you try to do something new, how many times are you willing to fail before you find success? Once? Twice? Five time? A hundred times?
Why are we as a society obsessed with success and failure? Many of us desire fame and fortune and will work hard to achieve it. And some of us are destroyed when we fail. We can't stand to fail. When we reach the end of our lives will our failures and successes matter? Or will the people we love be more important?
