Go for No! Yes is the Destination, No is How You Get There

by Richard Fenton

Every Saturday morning in grocery stores all across America you can hear kids passing right through failure

and taking no in stride on their way to success...

While we have absolutely no control over the actions of others, we do have total and complete control over how we react.

Each of us has our own personal failure quotient. In other words, how many times is a person willing to fail

before succeeding? How many times are they willing to get knocked down and then get back up, knowing that they are almost certain to get knocked back down again? How much failure can they endure on the road to success?

The pike had conditioned itself through hours of nose bumping to stay within its own self-imposed limitations.

to learn that no doesn’t mean never, it means not yet.

which Edison replied, I haven’t failed ten thousand times - I’ve simply discovered ten thousand ways that will not work!”
