ARE YOU A QUITTER OR A FAILURE?
Never Quit
It's okay to fail. In fact, I highly recommend failing. A person can't fully appreciate the sweetness of success without first experiencing the bitter taste of failure. I would even say that if you haven't failed, you aren't really trying.
So what makes failing so appealing in our quest for success? The secret is to never quit. As long as you continue to strive toward your goal of success and refuse to quit, you haven't really failed. Instead, use these temporary setbacks as a means to gauge your progress. Quitting is easy. Rebounding from a failure can be difficult; but worth the effort.
In 1954 Elvis Presley performed on stage at the Hi Hat Club in Memphis. Eddie Bond, a local musician, listened to Presley play two songs and gave Elvis advice about his future as a singer. Bond told Presley to stick to driving a truck, "because you're never going to make it as a singer."
What would have happened if Elvis Presley quit playing music and took the recommendation of Eddie Bond? The music world would have been denied thirty number one hit records by a former truck driver who would earn the title; The King of Rock and Roll. The truth is many people quite after losing sight of their goals.
Occasional failure helps to remind us that we are one step closer to reaching our goal. Elvis Presley refused to quit. As the famous Vince Lombardi said, "Winners never quit and quitters never win." The key to success is to remember that failures are only temporary setbacks.
