“8. ‘Them That Stick It Out Are Them That Win’

Behind every successful person you’ll undoubtedly find a string of failed attempts. We might not always notice the failures (as the successes tend to blind us to them), but to get to the success, those people will inevitably have had to walk through a good number of ‘failures’ first.

It is just the way of the world: to get to the successes, you have got to get out there and commit to fail a few times first.

The key is not in the failures themselves, but in your ability to keep going. As Winston Churchill said: ‘Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.’

And it’s been my experience that the real difference between successful and unsuccessful people is simply the dogged ability to keep going.”
