DON'T GIVE UP TOO QUICKLY

This is an excerpt from the book How To Think Like A Millionaire by Mark Fisher and Mark Allen:

Most people fail because they give up much too quickly. They throw in the towel after one or two failures. Pride or lack of self-confidence makes people give up too quickly. Colonel Sanders tried dozens of different times to sell his chicken before he finally succeeded. An engineer at Head, a sporting goods company, performed forty-three tests before he successfully developed a metal ski. If he had given up after a dozen attempts, or even forty-two attempts, someone else would have invented it.

All great success stories are punctuated with failures. Positive people don't let themselves be beaten down by their first blunders. And we all make blunders at first, until we figure out what works.

Many successful people look at in a way that recognizes a somewhat mysterious phenomenon: Life seems to have been designed as some sort of test. When people show they can overcome obstacles and failures with unswerving persistence and faith, life seems to lay down its weapons of opposition, and fame and fortune appear, as if charmed by their vision and strength. Success often follows a resounding failure, as if life wants to reward the brave soul able to surmount such a devastating setback.

The most successful people, almost without exception, all failed - often more than once - before they were successful. But they didn't give up. They tried and tried again.
