Never Stop Trying

When I was young, I observed that nine out of ten things I did were failures. So I did ten times more work." -George Bernard Shaw, Renowned Irish Author, George Bernard Shaw books

Success is a numbers game - the more you do, the more you succeed. Failure, as Shaw points out, is a common outcome, and it's unfortunate when young people are not encouraged to overcome challenges in their lives. The key to success is learning from experiences - good and bad - without giving up. Trial and error is an effective strategy, whereas trial and quiting only produces one result. Disciplining yourself to be persistent is necessary to achieving your goals, and it helps to maintain a positive outlook while jumping the hurdles along the way. In the end, though, you will need to commit to trying many different tactics and strategies to be successful, and whether you know it or not those strategies will include failure as a means to success. Never give up, never give in, never stop trying!
