3. Fail. Stand Up. Try again.
Sometimes, failure is inevitable. But it’s not the end of the story. It’s how you deal with the failure that will decide the outcome. Are you going to dust yourself off, level up, and then give it another shot? Or do you give in to failure and stop trying? It’s all in your hands now.
But think about the many successful people who failed a lot of times before they had their fair share of success. Think about J.K.Rowling whose Harry Potter books got rejected 12 times by different publishers before it became a hit. Michael Jordan missed a lot of crucial shots, but still became a basketball legend. And Walt Disney, who was once fired from his job because of his “lack of imagination and ideas.” They failed, they stood up, and they tried again.
As the old saying goes, “If we can learn to fail, we can learn to succeed.”
