One who wins never quits and one who quits never wins.
As per the legendary leader Winston Churchill, we should never give up. We need to give it one more try. Only those who keep trying win ultimately.
Abraham Lincoln failed many times before he became the President of America. He is one of the most legendary Presidents America has seen.
Wright Brothers invented the airplane even after they failed many times. Colonel Sanders offered his special fried chicken to 1009 hoteliers before he succeeded and now, we see his KFC spread over across the world.
Even after failing ten thousand times, Thomas Edison kept on persisting with inventing the electric bulb. We are really grateful to this genius for this wonderful invention.
Lots of hard work and failures are involved before new drugs are invented. This failure is built into all the systems in nature.
Lakhs of seeds are spread across but few survive and grow into trees.
Lions, tigers, and all predatory animals succeed only 25% times in their hunting expedition.
All the great leaders and salesmen succeed only after they have tried five times. When we try for 5 times, we get a success ratio of 80%.
If we do not keep trying, we waste the time, money, and efforts put forth. If we never give up, we succeed most of the time. Giving up should not be an option.
Those who are cheerful and embrace failures as a necessary step succeed most of the time. If we succeed in the first attempt that means we are having a low aim which is a crime.
We should be immune to the feedback of the critics. Even the legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan had a lot of failures before Zanjeer came to make him a superstar. The angry young man becomes his trademark.
American scientists failed so many times when they deployed the Apollo series of spacecraft were launched. Ultimately, they could put the first man on Moon.
Norman Cousins who was suffering from cancer cured his cancer he went on trying by watching humorous pictures and serials.
There are many examples of people who kept on trying till they succeeded.
Many students kept on appearing for the chartered accountants’ exams till they became full-fledged chartered accountants. Most people give up when they are very close to succeeding in what they aspired for.
The legendary author Napoleon Hill of the famous book Think and Grow Rich quoted his uncle’s experience. It was like he had taken a mine to dig for gold. He went on drilling and gave up. He digs up to 97 feet and gave up. He sold it to someone and that person hired an engineer and dug further. After reaching 100 ft he struck gold. Later on, he applied this principle in selling life insurance and succeeded beyond his wildest imagination.
Madam Curie the noble prize winner did not give up and discovered radium. The legendary Amitabh Bachchan was in the doldrums when he miserably failed in his company ABCL was a financial disaster. But his relentless approach of never giving up paid rich dividends when he was chosen as the anchor for the now famous Kaun Banega Karodpati. Since then, he has never looked back.
Dr. Abdul Kalam always kept persisting till he succeeded. He developed the missile which gave India a great advantage.
Henry Ford toyed with the idea of 8 cylinders in one bloc in cars. His engineers said that it is not possible. But Henry Ford asked them to continue no matter what. Ultimately after relentlessly pursuing for a year, the engineers succeeded.
So, we need to encourage the whole of mankind to keep going till they succeed. If we leave things in the middle we waste all energy, time, and money.
Our world would be a better place and there would be immense abundance for all. Millions and millions of people are scared to carry on for the fear of failure and criticism.
We should keep in mind that all the super achievers failed many times before they succeeded.
We should appreciate those who relentlessly pursue their goals despite failures. Awake, arise and march on till you reach the goal as per the wonderful adage given by the legendary saint Swami Vivekanand.
