Feb 28 - Never Give Up
Never Give Up
February 28, 2006
"If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. This approach to life has been responsible for the success of many men and women struggling against apparently insurmountable obstacles.
Sometimes your greatest asset can be your ability to persist longer than the other person. Your willingness to continue, even when you feel like quitting will often win you the day.
Between where you are and your goal, there are a number of hurdles or 'tests' that you must successfully pass to succeed. And you never know how many there are. You only know that number is limited and that at any time you might be just one step away from great achievement.
Expect to meet many obstacles, difficulties and temporary failures on the way to your goal. They are essential to your eventual success. You need them. They are each sent to teach you something vital that will help you in the future.
You can never tell how close you are to your goal, right now (Tracy, 2003, p. 157-158)."
