You’ve failed many times, although you may not remember.
You fell down the first few times you tried to walk.
You almost drowned the first time you tried to swim, didn’t you?
Did you actually hit the ball the first time you swung a bat?
Heavy hitters, the ones who hit the most home runs, also strike out a lot.
Babe Ruth struck out 1,330 times, but he also hit 714 home runs.
R.H. Macy failed seven times before his store in New York City caught on with shoppers.
English novelist John Creasy got 753 rejection slips before he published 564 books.
Thomas Edison fabricated over 1,000 lightbulbs before he made one that worked.
Don't worry about failure. Worry about the chances you miss when you don’t even try! |
