More people fail not because they lack knowledge or talent but because they quit. The total secret of success lies in two words, persistence and resistance. Persist in what must be done and resist what ought not to be done.
Winners are struck but not destroyed. We all have had setbacks in life. Failing does not mean we are failures.
People who lack conviction take the middle of the road; and guess what happens in the middle of the road? You get run over.
People without conviction do not take a stand. They go along to get along because they lack confidence and courage.
They conform in order to get accepted even when they know that what they are doing is wrong. They behave like part of a herd.
Winners may analyze but never rationalize. That is a loser's game. Losers always have a book full of excuses to tell you why they could not.
We hear excuses like……
Some people live and learn, and some only live. Wise people learn from their mistakes.
People who do not learn lessons from history are doomed. Failure is a teacher if we have the right attitude. Failure is a detour, not a dead end.
It is a delay, not a defeat. Experience is the name we give to our mistakes.
