“Success is not final; failure is not fatal; it is the courage to continue that counts.” Winston Churchill
If you are not dead, you are not done.
Milton Hershey went bankrupt multiple times before creating his candy bar that was so successful he created an entire city. If he had given up after the first or second failure, we wouldn’t have Hershey’s Kisses.
The Rocky script was rejected over a hundred times, as was the manuscript for Gone With The Wind. Failure is not forever if you keep trying.
And winning is not forever either. There is always someone trying to knock off the Champ, be it in the ring or the marketplace. Winning once is nice but you have to keep winning, and to keep winning you need to keep improving.
Keep trying. Whether you are currently winning or losing it doesn’t matter. Keep trying to get better, keep trying new things to have more impact and cut costs (of time and money), keep pushing yourself because it is the in continuing we get through it all.
