Success means falling

In today's world people are scared to make mistakes. Mistakes are considered failings, the view of the world has gone myopic. Patience levels are very low, expectations are high..... Sounds like a pressure cooker... :)

Gone are the days when failures used to be encouraged, perseverance was the key to success, 2day it's the exact opposite, at the first sign of failures, people panick and lose hope, so where are we going to get all the gud ideas from??

I remember a saying by Thomas Edison when he invented the light bulb after umpteen failures, he said, " I didn't fail the other times, but I just found those many ways not to succeed". Indeed the times have changed drastically....

Some of my favourite quotes on perseverance, I go thru it often when things look gloomy....

Don't be afraid to give your best to what seemingly are small jobs. Every time you conquer one it makes you that much stronger. If you do the little jobs well, the big ones will tend to take care of themselves. ~Dale Carnegie

Perseverance is the hard work you do after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did. ~Newt Gingrich

He conquers who endures. ~Persius

Stubbornly persist, and you will find that the limits of your stubbornness go well beyond the stubbornness of your limits. ~Robert Brault.

You can't go through life quitting everything. If you're going to achieve anything, you've got to stick with something. ~From the television show Family Matters

When the world says "Give Up"; Hope whispers,"Try it 1 more time"
