People do not fail,they simply quit too easily.Humans rate success by
what people finish,not what they start.Trying times are no times to
quit trying.
Transition from abstract to reality is a
herculean task.There are many forces that will fight your idea from
becoming a reality.Perseverance is the only force that gives your idea a
chance. Success is largely a matter of holding on after others have let
go.John Mason once wrote: "In the confrontation between the stream and
the rock, the stream wins - and not through strength but through
perseverance.
Overnight success takes 10 years.You will
have to set goals, set new goals; draft plans, draft new plans; develop
strategies, develop new strategies; take actions, take new actions,
before some earth shaking ideas will become real.Understand that failure
is part of the success process.Successful people are successful because
they have come to wisdom through failure.We get very little wisdom from
success.
Make up your mind from the onset that you will
not give up until you succeed.Work on that idea again and again until
you smell success.Form new habits, acquire new skills, change your
strategy but don't let go until you go up.On many occasions , great
ideas experience numerous failures.Authors of the book Chicken Soup For
The Soul, Mark Victor Hansen and Jack Canfield were rejected 140 times
by publishers.Today, that book has sold 150 million copies.At age 65,
Col. Sanders receive 1009 "nos" before his Chicken Recipe and business
was accepted .Today Kenturck Fried Chicken is world renowned.
How
many nos have you received for your idea?Two?Three?Five Hundred?Well,
keep trying.Successful people begin where unsuccessful people
stop.Realize that world shaking ideas will experience many failures
until they succeed.All the best. George Essien.
