The difference between those who succeed and those who call themselves failures is often just one step. Anyone who is enjoying success today has faced failure, and not just once, but many times.
What if Thomas Edison gave up trying to invent the light bulb after just 1000 attempts at finding the right material? After all 1000 attempts is a LOT of time and effort.
This quote from Thomas Edison shows his attitude towards failure:
Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.
He life certainly demonstrated this as it is recorded that he finally reached his goal after the 10,000th attempt. Failure was not an option to Thomas Edison. His focus was on success, and he achieved it.
What if Henry Ford did not persist on his mission to invent the motor car?
He had some interesting things to say about failure:
Even a mistake may turn out to be the one thing necessary to a worthwhile achievement.
Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.
Henry Ford had his eyes set on success and we are still driving Fords today in the 21st Century.
Frank Kern
Check out this video. You have likely heard of Frank Kern. Frank started out trying to make $300 a week. He failed! But he persisted and finally achieved his goal, then $2500 in a few days and now he is a multi-millionaire (and quite famous too).
Shoemoney confesses his failures. He even wrote about them in a blog post: Top 10 Worst Ideas To Make Money Today Shoemoney is also well know for his super success.
It is obvious that he also persisted.
Now its your turn – are you next in line to achieve success?
Here’s the secret not too many people want to know:
Genius is one percent inspiration, 99 percent perspiration Thomas Edison
Yes it takes persistence! A determination to never give up. Don’t let any failure stop you from achieving your goal. Again, Thomas Edison is quoted as saying: “Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up” You don’t want to give up just one step from success right? Right, I know you are persistent. You will win!
Are you ready right now for success? If you have not already done so, make sure you watch this interview with Tony Robbins, Frank Kern and John Reese. It will inspire you.
